Description
This postcard features a right-profile portrait of President Abraham Lincoln done from a photograph of Lincoln taken on February 9, 1864, in Washington, D. C. The portrait is printed on the left half of the postcard. Handwritten in black ink on the right side is "True Southerner--Kentucky born; Adopted Son of Illinois.
