Abraham Lincoln: Large Jacquard Woven Tribute
<B>Abraham Lincoln: A Lovely Large Jacquard Woven Tribute to America's 16th President.</B></I> Manufactured in Europe, it is similar to several other smaller woven, ribbon-like items made during Lincoln's presidency, or as mourning items following his assassination. The center section, measuring 5.25" x 7.75" is surrounded by a smoother plain silk border onto which Lincoln's name and that of the manufacturer, APPOLD SCHULTHESS appear. Overall, measures 7.5" x 10". A very impressive <I>tour de force</B></I> from the early days of this sort of precise weaving. Excellent condition but for two water stains, one along the right edge and one in the lower right hand corner.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Framed - with Glass, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
