- Description
- This hand colored commemorative portrait bust of Abraham Lincoln lists the President’s birth and death dates below his image. (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865) It also includes images of three of his past residences: his childhood home at Knob Creek in Kentucky, his house in Springfield, Illinois, and his first home in New Salem, Illinois.
- Edward Hooker Ensign partnered with Erastus Bridgman and Thomas Fanning in 1854, forming Ensign, Bridgman, & Fanning. Their business operated until 1863, when Fanning left, and then it continued as just Ensign & Bridgman until 1868. Based in New York City, this firm primarily produced illustrated maps, but produced this commemorative Lincoln print after his assassination, capitalizing on the popularity of the late President’s image.
