$265.00

This is one of the most famous portraits of President Lincoln and his family. My mother was an antique dealer and had this in her shop along with one of President Washington and his family. This is in an old frame and I have not tried to change any part of it. The back still has the rough wood planks and the original paper cover, or what\'s left of the paper. The wire and hooks are also old. I tried to show this in the photos. There is some staining around the edges. The dimensions, including the frame, are 29\" by 36\".

The portrait was done by Samuel Bell Waugh and the mezzotint engraving done by William Sartain in 1866. It shows Abraham Lincoln, full-figure, sitting in a chair at the left end of a table with Thomas sitting next to him. Mary Todd is sitting on the right with Robert Todd standing behind the table. Over Robert\'s shoulder is a portrait of Willie Lincoln who died in 1862. In the window is the faint image of the capitol building.

Under the painting is \"printed by S.B. Waugh\" in the left, \"Entered according to the act of Congress in the year 1866 b y William Sartain in the clerk\'s office of the district court of the U.S. for the Eastern district of Pennsylvania, Published by Bradley and Co., 66 North 4th Street Philadelphia H. Cuuran\" in the middle, and \"engraved by William Sartain\" on the right.
