Description
Description: Circa 1869 Stereoview; Depiction of a President Abraham Lincoln "look-a-like" with others, near the Thomas Jefferson statue on the north lawn of the White House in Washington, D.C. Printed identification on the reverse reads; "The President's House", along with detailed description of the White House.
Artist: Photograph by Bell & Bro of Washington, D.C. Entered according to Act of Congress, A. D. 1869 by F. H. Bell in the District Court of the District of Columbia. Bell requested a portrait sitting from Lincoln and was denied. Published 4 years after President Lincoln's death, it is curious that Bell completely avoided any description on the reverse regarding the people in the foreground--leaving the supposition of the identity of the man in the top hat to the viewer.
Dimensions: Photographic stereoview is mounted on slightly curved mount board which is about 7 x 3-1/2 inches.
Condition: partial loss of left image. upper right mount damage. overall light soiling, occasional scuffs and dings.
ShippingDomestic: Free shipping within the Continental US. International: Foreign shipping rates are determined by destination.
