Thomas Nast depicted the surrender in Harper's Weekly this way; I don't see Lincoln in the picture.

Probably because at the time he portrayed it, ONLY Lee's Army of Northern Virginia had surrendered, not Hood's army in the West or the other "armies" that the Confederacy still had in the field. Those surrendered over the subsequent three weeks.
