Lincoln "Mourning" Plaster Portrait With Its Original Case "Abraham Lincoln - Born February 12th, 1809 - Died April 15th, 1865." under glass housed in its original case, 3.5" x 3" embossed case, of the type normally used for tintype photographs, contains instead a rare White Plaster Profile Portrait of Lincoln, set against a black background within a gilt brass border. The white silk on the inside of the lid is inscribed: "Abraham Lincoln - Born February 12th, 1809 - Died April 15th, 1865." The plaster is somewhat cracked and has deft repairs in 3 places. The case lid is detached with a small piece of the silk lining missing. Very good condition. This rare, unusual Lincoln Mourning Souvenir is quite attractive and highly desirable.
