Up for sale is a truly iconic 1896 folio-sized portrait plate of President Abraham Lincoln. This engraving was executed by F. Halpin based on the famous 1864 portrait drawn "from life" by artist F.B. Carpenter. It stands as one of the definitive wartime depictions of the President. Because Lincoln portrait plates from this volume are heavily sought after to frame individually for offices, political collections, and historical archives, this piece is an excellent standalone investment.
