Norman Price studied art in London and Paris and was known for his history and war-action paintings and illustrations. His superb pen and ink works that appear in Treasure Island are particularly important. The Canadian born Price knew many Civil War veterans, whose experiences are reflected in the details and mood of this piece, a scene from what appears to be the Battle of the Wilderness.

We see an ammunition wagon train rumbling toward the front, with an ambulance returning to the rear while two Zouaves carrying a litter. Other soldiers search for bodies and aid the wounded. A striking, brooding, and emotional night scene!

. A large woodcut bust portrait of Andrew Johnson, approx. 6 x 7.5 in. and surrounded by a border of small red-outlined stars, dominates the center of this unusual piece. His portrait is partly overprinted in red and blue, to provide flesh tones and color both suit and background, and is surrounded by black and white woodcuts of all his predecessors (including a beardless Lincoln).

The outer border is composed of slightly finer cuts of 15 generals (Sherman, Thomas, Grant, Sheridan and Hooker at top; Hancock, Rosecrans, Cox, Burnside, Rousseau and Logan along the sides; Butler, Terry, Banks and Howard at bottom) and Adm. Farragut. Each of these appears within an identical red-and-blue tinted “frame” composed of an eagle, flags, and the figures of Liberty and Justice. Each Presidential portrait bears a short gloss of the administration and a tally of electoral votes cast; the military ones have very brief biographical and sometimes editorial captions (e.g., for Hooker, “He meant business…[I]f there was not so much strategy, there was…an endless amount of ‘fight’”). A comment that Gen. Cox “is governor elect of Ohio…chosen Oct. 10” and “will enter upon the duties…in January, 1866” effectively dates this broadside. Display-quality material of Johnson as President is very scarce, doubtless due to the rapid decline of his political fortunes and eventual impeachment.

Some smoothed old folds; fine and quite fresh appearance. Quite unusual for this period; the first we’ve seen it.

A striking presentation of America’s first sixteen Presidents, each shown in an oval bust portrait, arranged around ornate oval framework, with Washington at the top and a beardless Lincoln (from his “Cooper Union” photo) at the bottom.

The central oval shows Columbia holding a liberty cap on a pole and a stars-and-stripes shield; a bald eagle w/arrows is at her side, a steamship and the U.S. Capitol dome behind her. The president’s names and administration dates are printed near the bottom. This print was made to honor Lincoln ’s first inauguration but proved difficult to sell, owing to his changed appearance -- his newly-grown beard.

Professionaly conserved: Paper replacements at two margins, not affecting the image; light water-staining at bottom margin; a few marginal closed tears; tear from top down through middle of image is bearly noticeable. When framed, most problems can be matted out. GORGEOUS COLORING WITH A FINE, FRESH APPEARANCE. PERHAPS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL OF ANY POPULAR POLITITCAL PRINT IMAGE OF AMERICAN PRESIDENTS.

A calligraphic edition reproduced by photograph. At the left is an infantryman, who stands by a tall tree which forms the left border. At different levels on the tree are carved the dates (from the bottom) 1620, 1776, and 1863. The image of Lincoln is the beardless one taken by Mathew Brady, known as the Cooper Union portrait. At the lower right is an image of a frigate's cannon. This was one of a number of handsome, decorative prints of the Emancipation Proclamation that were produced for home consumption during Lincoln's lifetime.

Excellent; a few scattered spots do not mar it's good looks.

Limited edition print, hand-pulled from the original printing plate, hand numbered and embossed with the seal of the Estate of Bill Mauldin.

Bill Mauldin was a two-time Pulitzer Prize -winning editorial cartoonist. He was considered a hero by the common soldier. While serving in the infantry Mauldin began drawing cartoons about regular soldiers, called "dogfaces". Eventually he created two cartoon infantrymen, Willie and Joe, who became synonymous with the average American G.I.

This print is Mauldin's response to the assassiantion president Kennedy. "Back at his cubicle, he took a snoort of Jack Daniels from a bottle in a filing cabinet and went to work. What he produced in a short time was a drawing that the news desk instantly recognized as a must-carry cartoon. The back page, historically reserved as the paper's primary showcase for the day's major sports stories, was pre-empted for Mauldin. Many newsstand operators displayed the back page instead of the front page."--Ralph Otwell, Executive Vice President, Chicago Sun-Times.

Unknown to the world, Mr. Otwell rescued the plate from the refuse container that day. It has hung in his study for over forty years. He brought the plate to Jean Albano Gallery here in Chicago in 2006, during the first exhibition of Bill Mauldin's cartoons.

The estate of Bill Mauldin, in association with Jean Albano Gallery, is privileged to offer this limited edition prints. Abraham Lincoln Book Shop is proud to offer them here.

As with so many of Rockwell's works, this one was painted for the Saturday Evening Post magazine in the 10 Feb. 1962 issue (illustrating Elisia Bialik's article "Lincoln for the Defense"); the original oil is now in the Rockwell collection at The Old Corner House, Stockbridge, Mass.

Lincoln is portrayed here as defender of Duff Armstrong in the celebrated "almanac" murder trial (wherein he proved lack of moonlight would have prevented witnesses from clearly seeing what they claimed); he is shown coatless, in white trousers and ruffled shirt, suspenders loose, one hand holding almanac and spectacles, the other clenched in a fist atop a law book. The manacled client sits behind him in shadow, head by hands. A vital, dramatic image.

V.g. . This is the "truest" Lincoln Rockwell produced.

The Chicago Tribune editors got a slight jump on the upcoming 200th anniversary of our country’s birth by initiating a weekly Bicentennial art show within the pages of their Sunday magazine section, starting with their September 7, 1975 issue.

Of course, no artist could better represent things American to the nation’s readers than Norman Rockwell, so he was the editors' choice for the cover slot of the feature's debut. Rockwell (1894-1978) had depicted Lincoln many times already, pictorially tracing the martyred President's life throughout all its stages: as a young boy, as a rail-splitter, as a defense attorney, as a stump-speaker, and as our president. He chose to paint him again, but with a clever twist. His effort paid homage to the famous Matthew Brady portrait photo of Lincoln by depicting the act of the imaged capture, rather than the image itself. The portrait painting pictures Lincoln held motionless by a head brace in Brady's portrait studio, while the famous photographer checks his exposure time, lens cover and pocket watch in his hands. Brady is actually the central figure for the work, and it is interesting that an artist in paint has chosen to pay homage to an artist in photography. The large doorway arch frames Brady in such a way that it is impossible not to notice him first, and this was obviously Rockwell's intent. The delicate green of the walls and wide-planked flooring is a color trick to make everything radiate from the brilliant green of Brady’s vest. The brilliant red of Brady's ascot draws the eye up to the photographer’s face.

Near Mint condition; accompanied by a large color photocopy of the original magazine cover.

Modeled after Bissell’s life-sized Lincoln emancipation group in Edinburgh, Scotland, dedicated in 1893 and later replicated at Clermont, Iowa, c1903. Three desk-top versions of this full-figure Lincoln were subsequently produced by Bissell at the famous Gorham Company foundry of New York, this being the largest and most impressive of the three. This is only the third of this size that we have seen on the market in 34 years. Lincoln is shown holding the Emancipation Proclamation in his right hand, and the statuette’s large size allowed Bissell to incise that heading and Lincoln’s name on the “paper.” It displays well the sculptor’s knack for presenting his subjects in a compelling yet delicately accomplished manner.

With its rich, dark-brown patina, this striking, even heroic, statuette is remarkably stirring.
