Large lithographic portrait, 28-1/2 x 22-1/2 inches; some discoloration from dampness (entirely washable), with a smallish but more noticeable damp-stain at the bottom corners Chicago: Kurz and Allison, circa 1895
A wonderful sensitive portrait of the great ex-slave orator, reformer and politician.

This copy hung on the wall of the Queensland Insustrial School in Ben Hill County, GA next to an engraving of Abraham Lincoln.
