Description

This colored postcard features an illustration of Abraham Lincoln's home at Old Salem. Above the cabin are three smaller images in white oval borders on a background of pink roses. A decorative tan-colored border surrounds all the images ending near the bottom edge of the card to include the image identification panel. The images identified are the grave of Ann Rutledge, the Lincoln trees, President Abraham Lincoln, and Lincoln's home at Old Salem. Beside the publisher's information printed along the edge of the reverse is the number D 10045. Part of the Lincoln Financial Foundation Collection, courtesy of the Indiana State Museum
