Beardless ABRAHAM LINCOLN Presidential Campaign Candidate PRINT 1860 Newspaper (Note: additional images are located below the description) Shown is an original & historic old newspaper, offered to enhance your collectible interest: HARPER'S WEEKLY, New York, May 12, 1860
* Early print of a beardless Abraham Lincoln
* Running for United States President
Front has a half page illustration: "The Republican Wigwam At Chicago, Illinois, In Which the Republican Convention Will Be Held, May 16, 1860". This was the event at which Abraham Lincoln would go from near obscurity to a position of prominence in American history.
The double page centerfold is a terrific print captioned: "Prominent Candidates For The Republican Presidential Nomination At Chicago" which includes portraits of eleven men, of central prominence being: "Seward" with a print of "Lincoln" near the lower-left (see). This is one of the earlier prints of Lincoln to be had in any newspaper, and shows him beardless, again an image not typically found. Also on this doublepage is a view of: "Washington". This centerfold has a few very tiny binding holes at the central fold, almost unnoticeable, plus a minor tear at the bottom margin near the fold. There is also a printing error near the top of the print causing a white streak not close to the Lincoln print (see).
Another full page print is: "The City Of Chicago, Illinois, Where The Republican Nominating Convention Will Meet On May 16, 1860", plus a half page of: "Meeting of the Southern Seceders From the Democratic Convention at St. Andrew's Hall, Charleston".
Complete in 16 pages, generally good condition (note condition centerfold in text above).
