Two Abraham Lincoln Post-Assassination Cartes-de-Visite
A pair of cartes-de-visite, both measuring 2.5" x 4", undated [Ca. 1865], memorializing President Abraham Lincoln after his assassination.
The first, entitled "Liberty Crowning Her Martyr" shows a depiction of "Liberty" holding a laurel crown above a seated Lincoln, with the Emancipation Proclamation at his feet. The second, captioned "Washington and Lincoln (Apotheosis)" depicts a heavenly scene in which George Washington embraces Lincoln in the clouds, also ready to crown the martyred president with a laurel. No back stamps present to either, with minor toning and darkened soiling to edges. Overall, very good.
This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
