Description

This French lithograph features a head and shoulders vignette portrait of a beardless Abraham Lincoln done from a photograph taken of him on February 27, 1860, in New York City. Lincoln is shown wearing a dark frock coat, waistcoat, and bow tie. The cord for his eyeglasses can be seen against his white shirt. A facsimile signature is printed just below Lincoln's right lapel. The artist's name is printed just below Lincoln's left arm. This print is part of the collection of Abraham Lincoln portraits published in countries outside of the United States.
