Description: This is an original period image from the Library of Congress, the National Archives and other quality sources restored and tinted by the internationally known color artist and author of "Restoring and Tinting Vintage Images", David Richardson. This is an exclusive listing of his work on ebay. Each image is taken from a high resolution negative and then cleaned of blemishes, damage, scratches, and whatever the decades have caused. Then the image is carefully brought back to life by adding color to the black and white image. By using these techniques the hands of time are turned back and for the first time you can see the images in color as they might have been on the day they were taken. You have your choice of size and finish for the photo. Note that the size you choose may require cropping and the finished image may appear slightly different than the one shown. If preferred a white border can be added above/below or left/right to allow all of the original image to print. Unless requested when placing your order, your image may be cropped. If you would like to see how a specific image will look for the size you have chosen, please contact us and indicate the size you are interested in.

Hannibal Hamlin Vice President, U.S.A. 1861-1865 "I am only a fifth wheel of a coach and can do little for my friends." Hannibal Hamlin Hannibal Hamlin enjoyed being a U. S. Senator. In 1860, while playing cards in his home state of Maine, he was surprised to discover that he was running as Vice President on the Republican ticket. As he wrote in letter to his wife, "I neither expected or desired it. But it has been made and as a faithful man to the cause [of limiting slavery], it leaves me no alternative but to accept it." After running on a platform of preserving the Union and stopping the spread of slavery, Lincoln and Hamlin finally met three days after the election. It was the start of a cordial but not close relationship. Hamlin was able to influence the naming of Gideon Welles as the New England representative in the cabinet. He also pushed for Negro rights, emancipation and the use of black soldiers. One of the positives of having an abolitionist Vice President - Lincoln questioned if “the Richmond people would like to have Hannibal Hamlin here any better than myself? In that one alternative, I have an insurance on my life worth half the prairie land in Illinois.” Presiding over the Senate wasn't as interesting as being a Senator to Hamlin. Bored of being the "nullity", Hamlin returned home and enlisted as a private in the Maine Coast Guard. As acknowledgement of being Vice President, Hamlin may have bunked with the officers but drilled, stood guard duty and cooked with the enlisted men. In 1864, the Republican Convention replaced Hamlin with Andrew Johnson as Vice President on the ticket. To console the disappointed Hamlin, Secretary of the Senate John W. Forney wrote, "To be Vice President is clearly not to be anything more than a reflected greatness. You know how it is with the Prince of Wales or the Heir Apparent. He is waiting for somebody to die, and that is all of it." By chance, two of Hamlin’s children — Sarah and Charles — remained in Washington after the 1865 Inauguration and were at Ford’s Theater on the night President Lincoln was assassinated. Hamlin’s daughter Sarah, felt a “chill passing over” as Booth leapt to the stage near where she was seated. As Senator, Hamlin did return to Washington; serving from 1869-1881. While playing cards at a local men’s club in Maine, Hamlin died in 1891.
