Print, a portrait of President Abraham Lincoln, 1865. Chromolithograph. Bingham & Dodd, Hartford, with stated 1865 copyright. Housed in period-style hardwood frame. Size refers to overall dimensions.
Chest-up portrait "printed in oil colors," with facsimile signature below. Scattered foxing confined to the margins and a small closed tear at the bottom edge.
Vivid likeness of the wartime president, published near the time of his second inauguration (lack of any reference to the assassination implies that is it pre-death). Framing is done tastefully, to the highest conservation standards (UV-filter glass, acid-free matting and backing; a $200 value). Ready for hanging, or would make an impressive historical gift.
