Description
Abraham Lincoln served as the 16th President of the United States from 1861 until his assassination in 1865, leading the country through the Civil War, preserving the Union, and signing the Emancipation Proclamation, which declared enslaved people in Confederate states to be free. This solid brass bookmark reproduces his portrait in a giclee print with a hand-applied braided tassel.
