18631155411863. LINCOLN Abraham. Proclamation of Emancipation. Iowa: W.H. Pratt 1865. Large lithographic broadside measuring 12 by 15 inches; matted and framed entire piece measures 16 by 20 inches. $3800.Original large calligraphic portrait lithograph of Abraham Lincoln created from the text of the Emancipation Proclamation with portions of the text highlighted to create a portrait of Lincoln clearly visible within the text designed by W.H. Pratt.On January 1 1863 Lincoln reportedly paused before signing the final Emancipation Proclamation saying ""I never in my life felt more certain that I was doing right than I do in signing this paper."" It declared that ""all persons held as slaves are and henceforward shall be free."" The Emancipation Proclamation is ""one of the strangest and most important state papers ever issued by an American President It was a statement of intent rather than a valid statute and it was of doubtful legality But in the end it changed the whole character of the war and more than any other single thing doomed the Confederacy to defeat"" Ketchum & Catton 252. ""Contemporary with the Spencerian school of penmanship there developed what was known as calligraphic portraits. The likeness of an individual was reproduced by writing in such a fashion that the main features of the subject were made to stand out in bold relief yet no lines were written which did not appear in the given text The Emancipation Proclamation written out in free hand has been most often used as a basis for the Lincoln portrait Possibly the most artistic of all these calligraphic portraits was one made by W.H. Pratt of Davenport Iowa"" Lincoln Lore Lincoln National Life Foundation. Marginal pinhole a few tiny spots of marginal foxing. Near-fine condition. unknown

18601197371860. LINCOLN Abraham. Manuscript poll book. New Salisbury Indiana November 6 1860. Slim folio 8-1/2 by 14 inches stitched original self-wrappers; pp. 12. $4250.Fascinating 1860 poll book for New Salisbury Jackson Township Harrison County Indiana used to record votes in the election of November 6 1860.Democratic President James Buchanan pledged to serve only one term as president. Thus the field was wide open in 1860. Senator Stephan A. Douglas Buchanan's chief rival decided to seek the 1860 Democratic nomination. However the slavery issue that had been so divisive in 1860 became even more so by 1860. Southern Democrats refused to support Douglas and broke up the Democratic National Convention in Charleston South Carolina. When the convention reconvened in Baltimore the following month a majority nominated Douglas and Herschel Johnson of Georgia as the Northern Democratic ticket. Some delegates broke away and nominated John C. Breckinridge of Kentucky and Joseph Lane of Oregon as the Southern Democratic candidates. The Republican National Convention also met that year. On the first ballot delegates pledged to various opponents of William H. Seward voted for their favorite candidates denying Seward of the nomination. On the second and third ballots many of them switched to Abraham Lincoln giving him the nomination. Hannibal Hamlin of Maine was quickly selected as the nominee for vice president. The Constitutional Union Party Convention also met and nominated John Bell of Tennessee and Edward Everett of Massachusetts in an attempt to bridge divisions over slavery.Although the election of 1860 was a four-way race among Douglas Breckinridge Lincoln and Bell sectionalism essentially turned it into a race between Lincoln and Douglas in the North and Breckinridge and Bell is the South. Ultimately Lincoln won a plurality of 39.8% due in large part to his antislavery stance. Lincoln also carried 17 northern and western states including Indiana. In fact Lincoln won 51.1% of the popular vote essentially a landslide in a tight race. Moreover Lincoln carried Jackson Townshipthe home of this poll bookwith nearly 75% of the vote though this poll book from New Salisbury shows him with just 70 votes for Lincoln's electors versus 201 votes for Douglas' electors. Secession began just six weeks later leaving Lincoln with the inevitable and unenviable destiny of become a wartime president.
