Two Abraham Lincoln Post-Assassination Cartes-de-Visite

A pair of cartes-de-visite, both measuring 2.5" x 4", undated [Ca. 1865], memorializing President Abraham Lincoln after his assassination.

The first card depicts Lincoln's portrait on a large tombstone, labeled "A. Lincoln The Martyr President." Produced by J. Hall of Brooklyn. On verso is no backstamp but a vintage sticker, advertising "Smith & Bro's Fancy Bazaar." Card has rounded corners and worn edges. Toning and soiling throughout, with two small pinpoint holes at the top and bottom edges.

The second card depicts a heavenly scene of George Washington embracing Lincoln in the clouds. No backstamp on verso. Card has light wear to the edges and corners, as well as some faint soiling. Overall very good. 

This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
