A rare mourning print of Abraham Lincoln. The image of Lincoln is based on one of the photographs taken at Matthew Brady's studio in Washington on 9 February 1864. To the left of the image are significant dates from Lincoln's life, and to the right are the last portions of his second inaugural address, delivered 4 March 1865. Scarce. There are only a few extant copies of this rare print, at Indiana University, the Indiana Historical Society, Cornell University, and the Library of Congress. cornell has an additional rectangular version of the print, also published by Bancroft.
