Rare author’s edition of this pictorial history of the sixteenth president of the United States of America. Quarto, original half cloth, illustrated with black and white photographs, documents, and political drawings. Signed by the author on the front free endpaper. Very good in a very good dust jacket. Housed in the original publisher’s slipcase. Accompanied by two portraits of Lincoln which appear in a manila envelope with Lincoln’s signature in facsimile.

"Not only does the volume contain all the known Lincoln pictures but it actually is a pictorial history of the Great Rebellion. There are 500 pictures and 100,000 words of text, splendidly synchronized so that the reader catches picture and text closely allied" (Arthur L. Crookham, Portland Journal).
