Description
This is a commemorative ribbon made out of white silk. There are two thick horizontal black bars on the ribbon, one about 1/3 of the way down from the top, and the other about 1/3 of the way up from the bottom. In between the two bars the words, "In Memory of our President.; Lincoln; to day is first in the hearts of his countrymen," are printed in black lettering. The word "Lincoln" is in the center of the ribbon and is surrounded by a scroll and leaf design. Part of The Lincoln Financial Foundation Collection, courtesy of the Indiana State Museum
