Description

This embossed postcard features two illustrations of Abraham Lincoln. The first one is of President Abraham Lincoln surrounded by a blue border with white stars and is flanked with an American flag on each side. The second image depicts a young, beardless Abraham Lincoln splitting rails. A log cabin is in the background and two yoked oxen are behind him. Between the two images "Abraham Lincoln" is printed in gold-colored ink. His birth and death dates are printed in the lower corners. The postcard reverse is divided.
