c. 1866 Extremely early and rare full color lithograph titled, "First Reading of the Emancipation Proclamation Before the Cabinet" and showing Abraham Lincoln holding the iconic document. This is a full color lithograph from a painting done by F.B. Carpenter. Versions of this print have been available in prominent auctions in different sizes, but this full color example is the best we have ever seen in the world! The lithograph was found in a collection of Civil War letters in an archive and is absolutely vintage to the years just after the Civil War ended and is being offered here for the first time ever. The condition and quality are both perfect!
