Abraham Lincoln-My Shining Star
As a high school student studying American history and the Civil War , I was asked to memorize and recite
The Gettysburg Address .From that time on,Abraham Lincoln was my hero.When I started to collect bookplates, Lincoln and his life were always at the forefront of my thinking.
.Adding to that,I was fortunate n being able to buy a small collection of Lincoln Exlibris.

.Adding to that,I was fortunate n being able to buy a small collection of Lincoln Exlibris.
From that time forward I found myself a Lincoln stalwart .A few years ago.I had the privilege of donating a Henry Horner bookplate(Governor of Illinois) to The Abraham Lincoln Museum in Springfield ,Illinois
The governor's collection of Lincolniana is the backbone of the Presidential Lincoln Museum..
I have been searching for "Honest Abe" for over forty years and would like to hear from other collectors who share my passion

SEE YOU NEXT SUNDAY
Maywyn Studio has left a new comment on your post "Abraham Lincoln-My Shining Star by Robert Weinberg...":
Interesting post. I look forward to next week's peacocks in bookplates.
For a treat, Jeri Landers, the artist has a baby peafowl post that's adorable.
