I have two of his prints hanging on the wall in my house.

Which paintings, I'm wondering. Smile

Rockwell was a Lincoln fan, and approached the subject in different ways.

I didn't realize how big the original of this painting is, until I came across this image of Rockwell himself along side.

That's usually called, I believe, "The Railsplitter". Here's "Lincoln for the Defense".

And, "Law Student".

I have endured a great deal of ridicule without much malice; and have received a great deal of kindness, not quite free from ridicule. I am used to it. (Letter to James H. Hackett, November 2, 1863)
