New light on Lincoln's character : [prospectus]
A publisher's prospectus, or salesman's dummy, issued by the Lincoln History Society in New York in 1902 to sell subscriptions to Ida Tarbell's Lincoln biography to American book buyers. The plates are halftone reproductions of photographs: seated and standing portraits of Lincoln and his cabinet members in frock coats, with engraved signatures and captions useful as period portrait stock.
