Abraham Lincoln

Original circa 1865 handmade mourning badge, 1.75 x 2, featuring an albumen Brady photograph of Abraham Lincoln at center (the same image later used on the five-dollar bill), applied to a white linen background with attached pleated black-and-white silk ribbons. In fine condition, with a small stain to the top. A wonderful survivor from a difficult period in American history.
