Christmas gift

[Rhatkinson]

Rest assured that the President resides not in my closet, but on my office wall along with my other Lincoln related prints

   

In case anyone is curious, they are from left to right:

1. Ford's print I made after being allowed to go to the third floor to recreate the Garnder photo of the box during the JWB tour this April along with Lincoln's "I'd rather be assassinated on this spot" quote.

2. The picture my parents gave me.

3. John Nicolay copy of the Gettysburg Address that I made (true story: my brother asked me if that was the real Nicolay copy. Seriously. I replied that yes, I had broken into the Lincoln bedroom and stolen it from the White House.)

4. A Lincoln quote framed as a gift from a friend of mine.

5. Part of Lincoln's hair and wood from the conspirator's platform that I purchased.

6. Original print of the New York Tribune from the day the Emancipation Proclamation was issued given to me by my brother.

7. Print of the east front of the Capitol that I took along with the last part of Lincoln's 2nd Inaugural address.
