Abraham Lincoln: Selections from the White House Collection - Hardcover

Of the thousands of historic images associated with Abraham Lincoln and his presidency, perhaps the most dramatic and beloved are found in the White House collection. The Gettysburg Address, Mathew Brady's photographs of Lincoln with Tad, the bedroom furnishings purchased by Mary Todd Lincoln, and the poignant images of Lincoln's casket in the East Room are focal points of Scala's new 4-fold edition, celebrating the White House collection of paintings and objects identified with the sixteenth president. This fully illustrated book presents a special collection of images selected from the White House archives and collections of fine and decorative arts to help mark the bicentennial of Lincoln's birth, which will be celebrated in 2009.
