Lincoln's masterpieces
An edition of selected speeches and writings by Abraham Lincoln, compiled by Luther Emerson Robinson and issued by the Knickerbocker Press in New York in 1905 for general readers and students of American oratory. Its illustrations are printed decorations rather than scenes: black-line horizontal headbands and tailpieces of scrolling acanthus, leaf-and-berry clusters, and interlaced stems ending in stylized tulip buds, useful as rules, chapter openers, and border stock.
