95124Rare caste metal relief portrait of President Abraham Lincoln in profile. Housed in a custom circular frame with gilt decorative floral reliefs. The entire piece measures 16 inches by 16 inches. A handsome example. Abraham Lincoln served as the 16th President of the United States from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. He led the United States through its Civil War and in doing so preserved the Union of the United States of America abolished slavery and strengthened the federal government. Lincoln sought to create a Presidential cabinet that would unite the Republican party. His eventual cabinet would include his primary rivals for the Republican nomination and although his appointees held differing views on economic issues all were opposed to the expansion of slavery into the territories of the United States. The most senior cabinet post of Secretary of State was appointed to William Seward who had recently failed to win the 1860 Republican presidential nomination and Lincoln's choice for Secretary of the Treasury was Ohio Senator Salmon P. Chase Seward's primary political rival and the leader of a radical faction of the Republican party that sought the immediate abolition of slavery. unknown books
124196Rare original Anthony Berger carte-de-visite signed by Abraham Lincoln as President; the most recognizable portrait of Lincoln which was later used as the model for the Lincoln cent. Original mounted albumen photograph double ruled in gilt with "Brady's National Photographic Portrait Galleries" stamp to the verso. Boldly signed by Abraham Lincoln "A Lincoln." With an additional inscription on the verso which reads "Contributed for the benefit of the S.A.S. of Westford Mass. at their Levee Dec. 14th 1864 by Mr. Lincoln." Through the use of many paid assistants renowned 19th century portraitist Mathew B. Brady produced thousands of photographs documenting the American Civil War including portraits of Lincoln Grant and both Union and Confederate soldiers in camps and battlefields. The body of work created by Brady's photographers including Anthony Berger Alexander Gardner and Timothy O'Sullivan has become the most important visual documentation of the Civil War. Taken on February 9 1864 by the manager of Brady's Washington studio Anthony Berger this the most recognizable portrait of the 16th president of the United States was later used by Victor David Brenner to create the Lincoln cent. During this same sitting Berger also took the photograph of Lincoln that would later appear on the five dollar bill. The present example was signed by Lincoln to help the Sanitary Association of Westford Massachusetts raise funds for Unions soldiers toward the end Civil War. An example at Heritage Auction brought 175000 in 2006. In near fine condition. An exceptional piece. Abraham Lincoln served as the 16th President of the United States from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. He led the United States through the American Civil War the country's greatest moral cultural constitutional and political crisis and in doing so preserved the Union of the United States of America abolished slavery and strengthened the federal government. Lincoln ran for President in 1860 sweeping the North in victory. The South was outraged by Lincoln's election and in response secessionists implemented plans to leave the Union before he took office in March 1861. War began in April 1861 when secessionist forces attacked Fort Sumter in South Carolina just over a month after Lincoln's inauguration and after years of deadly military conflict officially ended on April 9 1865 when Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered to Union General Ulysses S. Grant at the Battle of Appomattox Court House. On April 14 1865 just days after the war's end at Appomattox Lincoln was attending a play at Ford's Theatre with his wife Mary when he was assassinated by Confederate sympathizer John Wilkes Booth. Lincoln is remembered as the martyr hero of the United States and is consistently ranked as one of the greatest presidents in American history. unknown books

Abraham Lincoln served as the 16th President of the United States from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. He led the United States through its Civil War and in doing so preserved the Union of the United States of America abolished slavery and strengthened the federal government. Lincoln began constructing his cabinet on election night and sought to create a cabinet that would unite the Republican party. His eventual cabinet would include his primary rivals for the Republican nomination and although his appointees held differing views on economic issues all were opposed to the expansion of slavery into the territories of the United States.

14952US President who guided the nation through Civil War and was famously assassinated. 2 page recto verso Manuscript Document Signed by Lincoln on June 19 1862 the same date on which he signed the historic bill abolishing slavery in the U.S. territories. In this document Lincoln extends mercy to an inmate by providing a pardon. Measures 10.75x16.5".Lincoln issued this pardon after several petitions arrived on Lambert's behalf emphasizing his family's financial need as well as the support of two convicting juror at his trial five years prior. <br/><br/>This pardon states in part: "Whereas at the December Term A.D. 1857.Isaac Lambert was convicted on two indictments for Larceny and was sentenced to imprisonment in the Penitentiary for the term of three years under each conviction;-And whereas the said Isaac Lambert has served over three-fourths of his double term of six years in a patient penitent and exemplary manner;-And whereas it appears that the family.are in a destitute condition and that his labor is necessary for their support.I Abraham Lincoln President of the United States of America.grant unto him the said Isaac Lambert a full and unconditional pardon." Boldly signed at the conclusion "Abraham Lincoln" with a white paper seal affixed to the upper left that remains fully intact. <br/><br/>In addition to granting this individual mercy to Lambert on June 19 Lincoln also initiated the process of abolition in the U.S. by signing a historic bill that banned slavery in all current and future U.S. territories. Overturning the controversial Dred Scott decision in which the Supreme Court had denied the federal government regulatory power over the territories' slave trades and policies Lincoln took a public action that helped the nation move closer to emancipation within the states. In cooperation with Lincoln Congress enacted legislation on June 19 emancipating slaves in the territories and banning slavery there hereafter. The law read simply: "Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled That from and after the passage of this act there shall be neither slavery nor involuntary servitude in any of the Territories of the United States now existing or which may at any time hereafter be formed or acquired by the United States otherwise than in punishment of crimes whereof the party shall have been duly convicted." This straightforward legislation paved the way for the Emancipation Proclamation which Lincoln announced in September 1862 and signed into effect on January 1 1863.<br/><br/>A highly desirable example signed at an important moment in the abolition of slavery.To obtain a signed document or letter directly relating to Emancipation would likely cost over $1 million today. At the height of the financial crisis in 2008 a document by Lincoln affixing the seal of the President "on my Proclamation" without mentioning the word "emancipation" sold for $800000. Repaired separations to intersecting folds one vertical fold passing through a single letter of the signature and scattered toning otherwise fine condition. unknown books
