Original 1860 Abraham Lincoln Presidential Campaign Ferrotype
1860 ABRAHAM LINCOLN & HANNIBAL HAMLIN Presidential Campaign Ferrotype, Choice Extremely Fine.
This beautiful Ferrotype measures approx. 15/16” in diameter and features a tintype portrait of Abraham Lincoln on one side and of Hannibal Hamlin on the other. Around the brass frame that holds the images it reads, “Abraham Lincoln / 1860” on the side with Lincoln’s photograph and “Hannibal Hamlin / 1860” on the side with Hamlin’s photo. The brass "frame" has a hole at the top edge for suspension from a ribbon badge as is typical of this type of Ferrotype Campaign Piece. The Lincoln Tintype is clean and crisp with sharp focus, strong contrast and rich, warm tonality. Slight surface crazing or loss affects the right eye and cheek. A handful of very tiny and unobtrusive surface scratches that can only be seen under magnification. The Hamlin Tintype exhibits sharp focus, strong contrast and rich tonality with the portrait area near flawless.
