1861 Harper's Weekly Abraham Lincoln Page Portrait
This is a tastefully presented page from the April 27, 1861 issue of Harper's Weekly. It has the start (most) of an article about the new President and reports this is the first image of him with his newly grown bread. The article gives the back story and biography. The frame is 15" x 20.5" with great red, white and blue matting. The page itself is in excellent condition. The glass frame is also in excellent condition and has framer's sticker on back. This can be for the Lincoln or Civil War collectors or historians of all levels.
