dont make a scene's photostream  

...a true man of his time, he understood the value that photography played...a portray of him before the beard...a photo of him and his son...photo of Mary Todd Lincoln...a faux sampler of "a mother's love"...his own mother died when he was 9 but his stepmother, who was illiterate, understood the value of being educated...

...a miniature copy of the Emanicipation Proclamation...a copy of a letter from Mary when she was away on a trip to New England...a book of Shakespeare and the Bible...a photo of Lincoln's office in Springfield show tables like this being used as desks...

...Lincoln kept notes tucked into his top hat...his top hat is on display at the Smithsonian...

...I am a fan of President Lincoln and so is my husband's nephew...I created this room box from books we were disposing of as a Christmas present for him...close ups to come...carpetbag holding items, including cotton and a tobacco leaf...top hat with note inside (Lincoln did this a lot)...rocking chair with a shawl...a book of Shakespeare and the Bible...books and some items that might have been found in a general store...he and a partner ran one but it was unsuccessful...

...many papers are generic but some are reductions from a Lincoln book by Chuck Wills, published by DK Publishing, first American edition, dated 2007...the book a gift to me from my husband on a previous Christmas...I love it, it contains copies of documents signed by Lincoln...
