Abraham Lincoln Meserve Photo W. Stunning Folding Frame. Ex. Forbes.
A superb elaborate hinged folding frame, containing a lovely Meserve Photo of Abraham Lincoln (back stamped Meserve). Opposite side from the photo is an embellished purple velvet cushion. The ornate black stained wood exterior. 3.25" x 3.75". Lower edge is separated from the case, but could be glued. Ex. The Forbes Collection.
Malcolm Forbes (1919-1990), American owner-publisher of Forbes magazine, and consummate collector, amassed one of the most substantial and broad collections of such breadth and depth that it filled a half-dozen residences, and sat on three continents. Many of his manuscripts were sold in Multi-million dollar sales By Christie's in the early 2000’s. The Forbes name is considered to be the apex of provenance when attached to an item like the above. We are honored to have been chosen by the family to sell at auction the substantial balance of the collection.
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.
