Ajouter au panierFirst edition, early printing of this photographic biography of the sixteenth president of the United States of America. Quarto, original brown boards, illustrated throughout with over seven hundred photographs and daguerreotypes, prints, and political cartoons. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Jacket design by Archie Fergu…son. In 1897, Frederick Hill Meserve began acquiring pictures to illustrate his father's experience of the Civil War. In time, he became the greatest collector of Civil War photographs and was recognized as a highly respected Abraham Lincoln scholar. His daughter, Dorothy Meserve inherited his interest, publishing the Lincoln biography 'Twenty Days' and producing documentaries such as PBS's 'The American President.' Her son, Philip B. Kunhardt Jr., and his sons, Philip III and Peter, have used their experience growing up with the Meserve-Kunhardt collection to formulate their own incredible photographic biography, 'Lincoln.' "This book belongs in the library of everyone who pretends the slightest interest in the background of this nation and in one of its greatest figures. It is absolutely engrossing - an exceptional biography of Lincoln and history of his time" (Walter Cronkite).
