Oval-Framed Lincoln Family Engraving
<B>Oval-Framed Lincoln Family Engraving.</B></I> Black ink on period paper, measuring 10" wide at the horizontal axis x 12" at the vertical axis. Published by Moore & Co., 111 Nassau St., New York. This lovely work captures the president, Mary Todd Lincoln, and their two boys, Robert and Tad in the sitting room of the White House. Lincoln is reading to Tad, while Robert stands sentry over his mother. A framed portrait of Willie hangs on the wall behind the family. Willie had passed away in February, 1862, so this engraving dates from some time afterwards. The frame is chipped in several places. There is scattered evidence of foxing around the border of the engraving, but overall, this piece is in very good condition, and a would be a handsome edition to any Lincoln collection.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Framed - with Glass, Medium (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
