109210Rare chromolithographic portrait of Abraham Lincoln in the style of E.C. Middleton. In near fine condition. Framed. The entire piece measures 22 inches by 19 inches. 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. 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

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.

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

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

186125965<p><b>ABRAHAM LINCOLN.</b>Chromolithograph. <i>Presidents of the United States</i> Philadelphia: Published by F. Bouclet lithographed by A. Feusier. Sheet size: 21 in. x 27 in. Image size: 24½ in. x 18¾ in. </p><br />A large patriotic chromolithograph issued around the time of Abraham Lincoln's first inauguration. The central image is the goddess Columbia wearing a draped American flag flanked by bald eagle and Union shield. Behind her is a steam ship and the artist's rendition of what the then-uncompleted Capitol building was expected to look like. Surrounding Columbia is an ornate frame made up of portraits of the presidents of the United States from 1789-1861—including a beardless Abraham Lincoln: George Washington John Adams Thomas Jefferson James Madison James Monroe John Quincy Adams Andrew Jackson Martin Van Buren William H. Harrison John Tyler James K. Polk Zachary Taylor Millard Fillmore Franklin Pierce James Buchanan and Abraham Lincoln.<p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>Erin Mast curator of "My Abraham Lincoln" a 2009 exhibition at President Lincoln's Cottage Museum noted that the print "both commemorates Lincoln's election and recognizes the challenges and opportunities facing the 16th president. The 16 presidential portraits encircle symbols of the republic at a time when a divided nation faced secession and civil war. In the center Columbia holds a shield and liberty cap the latter being a symbol both of revolution and of freed slaves. A bald eagle grasps arrows and an olive branch and carries a ribbon with the motto 'E Pluribus Unum.' The Capitol dome shown completed at a time when it was still unfinished symbolizes the founding of the democratic republic while a steamship symbolizes development and progress. The allegorical images relate to concepts that Lincoln expressed in his first inaugural address; that seceding and breaking the Constitution would be a step backward not forward and violates the very principles of the Union a Union which is 'older than the Constitution.' By commemorating Lincoln's election and illustrating the troubled and complex scene he faced this chromolithograph encapsulates the spirit of Lincoln's presidency."</p><p><b>Provenance</b></p><p>From the Estate of Malcolm S. Forbes.</p><p><b>Condition</b></p><p>Damp stains at top two corners light mat burn but generally a very fine example.</p> books
