Unlisted Abraham Lincoln Handmade 1860 Presidential Campaign Panel Stitched Ribbon
c. 1860 Lincoln Presidential Campaign, Panel Stitched Punchwork Embroidered Ribbon reading, “ABRAHAM LINCOLN PRESIDENT,” Choice Very Fine.
This is a rare, original Punchwork Embroidered Ribbon having a 1.25” x 6” central Stitched Panel, Attached to 1.25 x 12” Red Silk Ribbon with black piping on edges. It is impressively Handmade and quite attractive. We have seen a similar stitched “Lincoln & Hamlin” types, of various Handmade designs and believe this was likewise made for the 1860 election. It is also similar to cross-stitch panels depicting freed slaves, or advocating Abolition from the period. There is a small vertical split through second “a” in “Abraham” which is stable, being part of the attached display panel. A great opportunity for Lincoln, Political and Presidential Campaign collectors.
