False Lincoln #1 |
| Description |
A print with Abraham Lincoln's head superimposed on John Calhoun's torso. These false Lincolns were put on the market after Lincoln's death. The demand of Lincoln pictures was so great that the printers went to the trouble of doing these other political figures over. In original old frame. From the Robert L. Hunker collection. |
