Abraham Lincoln mourning portrait, circa 1865. This ornate, black, 3 x 3.5 embossed case, of the type normally used for tintype photographs, contains instead a white plaster profile portrait of Lincoln, set against a black background, within a gilt brass border. The white silk on the inside of the lid is inscribed, “Abraham Lincoln - Born February 12th, 1809 - Died April 15th, 1865.” In very good to fine condition, the plaster is cracked and possibly repaired in three places, a small piece of the silk lining of the lid is missing, and the lid is detached. Despite the flaws, this rare and unusual Lincoln mourning souvenir is quite attractive and desirable.
