I Am Not Bound To Win Abraham Lincoln Print
M. T. Sheahan
The print features a black and white bust portrait of Abraham Lincoln that is similar to Anthony Berger's 1864 portrait photograph (Ostendorf-92). To the portrait's right, a quotation attributed to Lincoln appears. The print was originally enclosed in a rectangular frame held together by taped edges. However, the tape has disintegrated, leaving the framed work in pieces. Thus, the print was removed for preservation, but the frame was retained for its documentary significance.
