Lot of 4 twentieth-century prints related to the life and achievements of President Abraham Lincoln.
E.T. Paull Music Co.: New York, New York, 1909. 10 x 13 in. (sight), framed to 16 x 19 in. Illustrated sheet music cover for the "Lincoln Centennial Grand March, 1809-1909," with full color lithograph by A. Hoen & Co., Richmond, Virginia. Cover shows Lincoln at center with the Lincoln Memorial, the Emancipation Memorial, the presidential tomb, and his boyhood log cabin pictured at corners.

Richard F. Lufkin: Boston, Massachusetts, n.d. ca 1948. 25 x 17.75 in. (sight), framed to 32.5 x 25.75 in.

The primary objective of his travel was to campaign for presidential candidate Zachary Taylor at the Whig state convention and in the surrounding area, but it also helped introduce Lincoln's skills as an orator to a national audience, in anticipation of his own run for president.
