1865réf. 97261865. Kilburn Brothers. Abraham Lincoln Stereoview Photograph of Funeral Leaves circa 1865-1875 preserves an early visual expression of the memorial culture surrounding Abraham Lincoln after his assassination in 1865. Centered on a cross incorporating a small portrait of the sixteenth president and surrounded by skeleton leaves the composition places Lincoln within the visual language of nineteenth-century mourning combining Christian symbolism portraiture and ornamental natural forms. Comparable contemporary stereographs were explicitly issued as "Lincoln Memorial" images using "dissected leaves" demonstrating that this arrangement belonged to a recognizable genre of commemorative Lincoln imagery. Kilburn Brothers. Stereoview photograph Littleton New Hampshire circa 1865-1875. Approximately 3½ x 7 inches. The paired photographic views depict a memorial arrangement dominated by a cross bearing a small image of Lincoln surrounded by delicate skeleton leaves whose exposed vein structures produce an elaborate almost lace-like setting around the portrait. The stereoscopic format was intended to create an illusion of three-dimensional depth when viewed through a stereoscope placing this image within a form of domestic visual entertainment that became particularly popular in the United States after the Civil War. Benjamin and Edward Kilburn established their stereoscopic publishing business in Littleton in 1865 and became major producers of views distributed for home viewing; the company continued under the Kilburn Brothers name into the 1870s. Lincoln's death generated an extensive material culture of mourning in which photographs prints memorial compositions and household objects helped transform the assassinated president into a national commemorative figure. Here that remembrance entered the intimate setting of stereoscopic viewing: a purchaser could encounter Lincoln's portrait and funerary symbolism as a three-dimensional parlor image rather than solely through public monuments or printed biography. The survival of closely related "Lincoln Memorial Dissected Leaves" stereographs by other publishers further documents the circulation of this particular memorial vocabulary during the 1860s. Light evidence of handling if any with no specific defects reported; near fine. A compact example of nineteenth-century Lincoln mourning imagery that joins presidential history with the visual and domestic culture of post Civil War remembrance. unknown books
1865réf. 127171865. Tilton Theodore editor of The Independent May 4 1865 issued this Lincoln memorial coverage nineteen days after the president's death and on the day of his burial in Springfield Illinois. Tilton edited the New York newspaper from 1863 to 1870 during a period in which its longstanding antislavery editorial position placed emancipation and the consequences of the Civil War prominently before its readers. The front page preserves contemporary Northern responses to Abraham Lincoln's assassination through both memorial verse and attention to his final public statements appearing as the country confronted presidential succession emancipation and the political consequences of Union victory. The Independent. New York. May 4 1865. One page 18 × 25 inches twice folded. The front page includes the poem "President Lincoln Dead" and the prominent central headline "The Last Word and Deed of Abraham Lincoln." Published less than three weeks after Lincoln was shot at Ford's Theatre on April 14 and died on April 15 the sheet places commemoration alongside an account of his final words and actions. Its May 4 publication date coincides with Lincoln's burial in Springfield giving the issue a particularly precise place within the national mourning that followed the assassination. Lincoln's death came only days after the surrender of Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia and before the Civil War had fully concluded while the Thirteenth Amendment abolishing slavery awaited ratification by the states. The Independent had advocated against slavery since its antebellum years making its treatment of Lincoln's death part of a newspaper history closely connected to abolitionist politics. Some spotting and tearing around the edges and at the creases not affecting the text with a small amount of paper loss from the upper right corner of the banner. Good condition overall with the principal headlines and memorial content intact. unknown books
1865réf. 136231865. Lincoln Abraham. Late Civil War portrait of Abraham Lincoln derived from a February 1865 photograph taken during the final months of the American Civil War. The image records Lincoln near the conclusion of the conflict that preserved the Union and ended legal slavery in the United States. Created shortly before his assassination in April 1865 the portrait captures a visibly worn president whose appearance reflected the physical and political strain of leading the nation through four years of war. The photograph was long attributed to Mathew Brady but was actually taken by government photographer Lewis Emory Walker and issued commercially through the New York photographic publishers E. & H. T. Anthony. The portrait belongs to a group of late images that document Lincoln's appearance in the closing weeks of the war. Stereoview photograph published by Keystone View Company reproducing the 1865 Walker portrait of Abraham Lincoln. Keystone stereograph number 92. The mount bears the Keystone biographical text about Lincoln on the verso together with the company's copyright notice. A handwritten pencil notation on the reverse references the earlier attribution of the photograph to Mathew Brady. The portrait shows Lincoln with closely cut hair a style that contemporary accounts suggested was recommended by his barber in preparation for the creation of a life mask by sculptor Clark Mills. Photographic portraits of Lincoln produced during the final months of the Civil War became some of the most widely circulated visual representations of the president after his assassination in April 1865. Images such as this stereographic reproduction contributed to the creation of Lincoln's public memory in the late nineteenth century when photographic publishers issued stereographs and other prints that allowed Americans to view notable figures through emerging visual media. Stereographs played an important role in popular visual culture during this period offering audiences three dimensional photographic views through stereoscopic viewers and distributing portraits of political leaders to a wide national audience. Light wear consistent with age and handling. Overall condition good to very good. unknown books
réf. 11717Ford's Theatre stereopticon view undated depicts the Washington D.C. building where John Wilkes Booth shot President Abraham Lincoln on April 14 1865 during a performance of Our American Cousin. The image belongs to the later visual commemoration of Lincoln's assassination presenting the surviving theater as a historic site for audiences encountering Civil War history through commercially produced stereoscopic imagery. Lincoln was carried from the theater to the Petersen House across the street where he died the following morning. Full color stereopticon view 6 x 3 inches captioned "Old Theater Where Lincoln Was Assassinated Washington D.C." The image is a later historical view of Ford's Theatre adapted from a photograph contemporary with the production of the stereoview rather than an image made at the time of the assassination. Printed descriptive remarks appear on the reverse. Produced for stereoscopic viewing the paired images were intended to create an illusion of depth when viewed through the appropriate optical device. Stereoscopic images circulated historic buildings landscapes and monuments to domestic and educational audiences during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries making geographically distant sites available as visual objects of study and commemoration. This example records Ford's Theatre not as the scene of the 1865 assassination itself but as a later memorialized landmark identified explicitly through its caption. Minor edge wear; otherwise very good condition. unknown books
1861réf. 131421861. Lincoln Abraham. March 22 1861 issue of The Union carries extensive reporting on Lincoln's first inauguration and the secession crisis less than three weeks after he took office. The newspaper devotes approximately two columns of its "News from America" coverage to Lincoln quoting extensively from his March 4 inaugural address in which he rejected the legality of secession declared the Union unbroken and stated his intention to execute federal law in every state. The same issue reports the secession of Texas placing Lincoln's assumption of the presidency beside the continuing dissolution of federal authority in the slaveholding South immediately before the outbreak of the Civil War. The Union. March 22 1861. Sixteen pages measuring approximately 9.75 x 15 inches. The issue includes multiple articles concerning Lincoln's inauguration with two columns of American news substantially devoted to the new president and extensive quotations from his inaugural address. It also reports Texas's withdrawal from the Union. Texas had adopted its ordinance of secession on February 1 ratified it by popular vote on February 23 and entered the Confederacy in March following six other slaveholding states that had already seceded. The newspaper thus places contemporary discussion of Lincoln's constitutional position alongside reporting on the continuing expansion of the Confederacy. Published only weeks before Confederate forces opened fire on Fort Sumter on April 12 the issue records the unresolved political crisis between Lincoln's insistence that the Union remained legally intact and the seceding states' establishment of a separate government. Its extensive reproduction of Lincoln's words preserves how readers encountered his inaugural position through the contemporary press before the crisis became open warfare. Complete newsstand issue never bound into a volume according to the supplied provenance. Minor edge wear and small edge tears; very good overall. An intact March 1861 newspaper preserving contemporary reporting on Lincoln's inauguration and Texas secession during the final weeks before the Civil War. unknown books
1864réf. 156621864. Lincoln Abraham Union Presidential Ticket November 8 1864 documents Civil War electoral mobilization through a printed county ballot listing national state and local Union candidates during the only United States presidential election held while the nation was actively at war with itself. The ticket records the Union Party electoral system through its Lincoln and Johnson presidential slate state electors and Morgan County candidates revealing how wartime party organization operated in practice by connecting national reelection politics to local printed voting materials. Lincoln defeated George B. McClellan in the 1864 election by 212 electoral votes to 21 and the National Union coalition joined Republicans with War Democrats in support of continuing the war and restoring the Union. Union Presidential Ticket. Morgan County Ohio: Union Party November 8 1864. Broadside-style printed election ticket approximately 3 by 7 inches. The ticket lists Abraham Lincoln for President and Andrew Johnson for Vice President together with state electors and local candidates showing the practical mechanics of nineteenth-century party voting before standardized government-printed ballots. A patriotic vignette depicts Columbia holding a sword labeled "Union" linking the act of voting to national preservation military sacrifice and loyalty to the federal cause. The election followed the Union capture of Atlanta in September 1864 a military success that strengthened Lincoln's political position after months of uncertainty about his reelection prospects. The ticket's timing gives it particular force: Lincoln's reelection made him the first president since Andrew Jackson to win a second term and he was assassinated on April 14 1865 dying the following morning less than two months after beginning that term. As a county-level ballot from Ohio the piece provides primary-source evidence for the study of Civil War political culture Union campaign symbolism local election administration and the wartime coalition that paired Lincoln with Tennessee War Democrat Andrew Johnson. Two light vertical folds not noted; no tears or losses described; overall excellent. A compact but unusually direct artifact of the 1864 Union electoral system linking Lincoln's national reelection campaign to the printed voting practices of a specific Ohio county. unknown books

Lebold was a noted collector of Lincoln material and the eldest brother of Nathan Leopold one of the infamous Leopold and Loeb teenage thrill killers convicted of the murder of Bobby Franks which captured the attention of the nation. Foreman like much of his family eventually changed his last name to Lebold because of the notoriety of the trial. Lincoln delivered his speech at the dedication ceremony of the Gettysburg National Cemetery on November 19 1863 about four months after the pivotal battle that turned the tide of the Civil War in favor of the Union. His speech was preceded by an Oration by Edward Everett the most famous orator of the day. Everett's oration printed here in full took about two hours to deliver and is now largely forgotten. Lincoln's address was delivered in only a few minutes and is now celebrated as the supreme distillation of American values and testament to the sacrifices necessary to achieve freedom for all Americans. It is printed on page 40 of this booklet under the title: "The dedicatory remarks were then delivered by the President as follows: / President Lincoln's Speech. / Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation ."
