<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mmarco102, post: 2726624, member: 8289&quot;]Greetings, A little while back I obtain a large Currier &amp; Ives lithograph of George Washington, hand colored in great condition for its age. Since then, I have been seeking an Abraham Lincoln to keep George company on my wall. Flash forward I bought this one which is smaller than I wanted 11” X 8”, but the price was to good to pass on so it will do until I find the perfect size I wanted. Mid 1865-6 to 1880 would be my guess. Only found one other exact print online of this one in the Lincoln collection. Two other images that are not available.</p><p><br /></p><p>Received it yesterday and upon opening it to inspect and clean the glass there is two inscription on the back. Question, will it ever be possible to figure out who H. C. Dixon(?) is? Do you think the signature below is Richard(?) Dean? Is he known? In researching 515-180 Wabash, I did find a Wabash Ave just a few blocks from Lincolns home in Springfield Illinois. Easy to assume Lincoln had many fans there <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> or possibly just a coincidence. What in your opinion might the numbers 7691(no zipcodes used until 1963) relate to? Finally, for what reason might someone write “1 week” on the back for?</p><p><br /></p><p>I understand answers are speculative, but any help may point me in the direction I want to go.</p><p><br /></p><p>PS, regarding the second inscription, 1968 how old was nanny? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>as always thank you again and again and again.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]276241[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]276242[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]276243[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]276244[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]276245[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]276246[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]276247[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]276248[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]276249[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
