Lincoln, Abraham, 1809-1865
- Measurement:
- 7.62 x 5.3975 (Photograph) (centimeters)
- Description:
- Photograph shows Abraham Lincoln seated at a small writing table. Molded thermoplastic case contains a scene titled The Vision of Ezechiel (showing mythological creatures and angels surrounded by a floral design) copied from The Vision of Ezekiel by Raphael. The front and back of the case are identical. Case appears to have originally contained a different item, as the Lincoln photograph does not fit within it particularly well.
