Description:
David Leroy's Mr. Lincoln's Book is first ever, a detailed account of the publication process of the Lincoln Douglas Debates; focusing on Lincoln's personal involvement in the process. Leroy unites the full story line with original correspondence, contemporary newspaper accounts, and photos and illustrations of the day. Lincoln, a popular politician was deeply thankful for the support of his friends, neighbors, and colleagues. He was pleased to sign or give copies of the book to his most active supporters. These became treasured mementos to all who received them. This is the first census of all known signed copies of the Debates which, under David Leroy, has grown to a total of 42 copies. The recipient's role in Lincoln's life is documented, as is the book's provenance and present location. Profusely illustrated with photos of many of the inscriptions, the book details the publishing history of a book Lincoln so ardently wished to see printed–perhaps his only claim to authorship of his own book.… Read More

Description:
Albumen Photograph of Littlefield's painting, on a mount bearing the printed names of each person in the image. 9-1/4" x 5-5/8" albumen photo, lalid on mount 14" x 11" overall.
John Littlefield began studying law under Lincoln in 1858, after previously being a design painter in the carriage trade. With Lincoln's nomination, Littlefield began stumping across the state on Lincoln's behalf. Littlefield made over 60 speeches, and in 1862 he was given a place in the Treasury Department.
After the assassination, Littlefield conceived the idea of painting a death-bed scene. He completed and copyrighted the painting in 1865, it was then photographed by John Goldin, and the mount printed by William Terry, with a key printed on the mat to identify the fine likenesses, taken from photographs, of the 25 eyewitnesses who are crowded into a small bedroom at the Peterson House. The profile of Lincoln, though, shows the first-hand knowledge Littlefield gained from years with the president.
Photograph is excellent,… Read More
