Embossed printed mourning card, 3-1/2” x 5,” New York, 1865, minor wear to front of card, heavier wear to back of card where it has been removed from a later mount. Good. In a blue half morocco and cloth folder, spine gilt. A mourning memento card commemorating the life of Abraham Lincoln. The card features a white embossed headstone on a black background, and reads: "In memory of Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States of America. Born Feb. 12, 1809. Died April 15, 1865. 'With malice toward none, with charity for all.' - Second inaugural address. Requiescat in pace!"
