Description
This print is the official proclamation by the governor of Massachusetts setting aside February 12, 1927, to be observed as Lincoln Day "and earnestly request that day be observed in the home and the schools and the churches as well as in other organizations so that love of country and appreciation of the contribution which Abraham Lincoln made to his country's greatness may become more pronounced with the passting of years." Except for having printed signatures rather than handwritten ones, this print is a duplicate of 71.2009.081.2305.
