Description
Lot of two very nice Lincoln-related CDVs. The first image is of the classic Anthony Berger engraving of President Lincoln reading the Bible with his son, Tad. This carte is sharp and clear and in near mint condition. Significantly, this view was produced by the Tyson brother’s studio in Gettysburg. The second image is the popular engraving of Lincoln and Washington embracing in heaven. Sometimes titled “apotheosis”, this was meant to suggest that, much like Washington, Lincoln had been elevated to divine status after his assassination. This artwork was extremely popular when the nation was mourning Lincoln. This carte is also in excellent condition.
