Abraham Lincoln History Stereoview of Lincoln's Birthplace Cabin in Hodgenville Kentucky

Best.-Nr. 11721Abraham Lincoln birthplace stereoview undated depicts the log cabin identified with the birth of the sixteenth president near Hodgenville Kentucky. The image belongs to the visual commemoration of Lincoln through sites associated with his early life presenting the birthplace as a historic landmark for audiences encountering presidential history through stereoscopic photography. Black and white albumen stereoview on gray mount showing the log cabin associated with Lincoln's birthplace. The paired images were intended for viewing through a stereoscope creating an illusion of depth and allowing the cabin and its setting to be examined as a three-dimensional scene. No photographer publisher or production date is supplied in the present description. Lincoln was born in Kentucky on February 12 1809 and his birthplace became an increasingly prominent site of national remembrance after his presidency and assassination. This stereoview records the cabin as it was presented to later visitors and viewers linking domestic-scale architecture with the expanding culture of Lincoln commemoration.

1860Best.-Nr. 007988Philadelphia: By the Author 1860. First Edition. Blindstamped Cloth. Very Good. A few names still well-remembered with accounts of many now a distant memory from what had been the largest city in the United States until the late 18th Century. 8vo. 23.5 by 16 cm. 223 pp. 20 plates half of which are portraits with tinted background and the other half are maps or diagrams of streets. These diagrams in most instances have indications of the owners of storefronts. Two of the maps are folding expanding by their width. The widest with three folds doesn't name proprietors of stores but has pleasant drawings of the buildings although these drawings have a generic quality like Monopoly buildings and thus aren't reliable as a visual source of the actual appearance of the riverfront at the time. Although this was privately printed as indicated by its being published by the Author there is a substantial subscription list almost six pages long at the end. Howes R321. Condition: erosion of cloth at spine extremities. Tearing along joints repaired but still apparent where there was tear. Corners rubbed and other typical symptoms of shelfwear. Slight cocking of text block -- front board overhangs over rear board. Foxing generally light and other than along page edges quite occasional -- we don't think the foxing and other soiling and/or age toning is going to be disconcerting to most.
