Lincoln: Found in the Attic
A powerful tribute to the 16th president, “Honest Abe” Lincoln blends realism with visual storytelling. The crumpled-paper texture evokes the feeling of an old photograph rediscovered - folded, forgotten, and now brought to light. The deep lines in Lincoln’s face, paired with the raw texture of the background, capture his enduring legacy and humanity. It’s a portrait that feels both historical and intimate, as if passed down through generations and ready to be remembered again.
Inside the Art: The Story Behind “Honest Abe” Lincoln
“Honest Abe” Lincoln by Kyle Lucks is a compelling modern portrait of Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, rendered with emotional weight and a story-first approach. What makes this piece stand out isn’t just the steady, iconic gaze - it’s the layered texture that transforms it into something more than a historical likeness.
Designed with a crumpled paper effect, the piece feels like a long-lost photograph, pulled from a shoebox in a dusty attic, battered by time but rich in meaning. Lucks imagined this portrait as a forgotten keepsake rediscovered by a new generation, adding layers of intimacy and nostalgia to the national memory of Lincoln.
His furrowed brow and deeply lined expression are brought to life with subtle dimension and visual grit, highlighting both the burdens of leadership and the quiet strength Lincoln embodied. The abstract background and distressed surface add texture and soul, making this piece feel like a bridge between past and present.
“Honest Abe” Lincoln is perfect for collectors, history lovers, and anyone drawn to storytelling through visual art.

Print Technique & Materials
Prints are reproductions of original paintings using a high-quality inkjet printing technique known as "giclee."
Unframed and framed artwork is printed on archival cotton rag paper, which is acid free and will resist fading and discoloration for generations. Unframed prints on paper are unsigned and feature a 1.5"-2" white border around the image. Most unframed prints are non-standard sizes and will require a custom mat to properly display the artwork, though the outer dimensions of the mat will fit standard frame sizes.
All framing is custom made to the exact specifications of each image, with an acid-free white mat and acrylic glazing (glass is prone to breaking when shipped). Most prints are non-traditional sizes and will not fit properly in mats or frames purchased off the shelf, therefore custom framing is recommended.
Canvas prints are referred to as "gallery-wrapped" because the color or image wraps around the sides of the canvas and it is stapled on the back. The canvas is wrapped around 1.5" deep wood stretcher bars and arrives ready to hang.
Framed canvas prints feature a "float frame," which has a 0.25" gap between the edge of the canvas and the frame moulding. The frame is 2" deep.
Custom Mat for Unframed Paper
Most unframed prints are non-standard sizes and will require a custom mat to properly display the artwork, though the outer dimensions of the mat will fit standard frame sizes.
You can purchase a custom mat from your local frame shop or online. If online, we suggest Matboard & More. Choose Arctic White in Decorative Quality, or if you prefer to upgrade, select White Art in Conservation Quality.
