This book explores the ever-changing popular depiction of Abraham Lincoln as "ideal, idol and icon". The martyred president is seen on coins, tokens, medals, stamps, stocks, bonds, and paper money - and also in paintings, magazine covers, advertisements, cartoons, movie stills, and other diverse media. Fred Reed's engaging history is beautifully illustrated in full color, with hundreds of images both famous and obscure - many rarely seen, and some never before published. Each studied by itself is fascinating. Gathered together they offer fresh and illuminating insight into our greatest president. This book is new from our inventory.
