Description

This color poster with a peach-colored background was the wall calendar for the year 1945 for the Lincoln National Life Insurance Company of Fort Wayne, Indiana. A reproduction of the original painting of President Abraham Lincoln by English artist T. Hamilton Crawford in a decorative, gold-colored oval frame is featured on the top half of the poster. A yellow banner with the company name is below the portrait. Beneath the banner is the 12-month calendar for the year 1945. The 12 monthly calendar pages for the year had been pasted on top of the full year calendar but have been torn off.
