CENTENNIAL ERA ABRAHAM LINCOLN PATRIOTIC BANNER.

CENTENNIAL ERA ABRAHAM LINCOLN PATRIOTIC BANNER. You are bidding on a scarce patriotic printed pennant from the Centennial era. Similar pennants depict George Washington and GAR events. There are several banners with different mottos but same bust of Lincoln. (see Collins, “Threads of History”). Banner is a dbl tail, cotton, chevron-shaped hanging banner with a three-quarter bust portrait of a young Abraham Lincoln in the center. Depicted at a younger age with short hair and beard, white shirt, black bow tie and black coat above his name. A blue border, containing 70 five-pointed stars, rims the chevron. These rarely come to market and this is a fine example with good color and borders. Accompanied by a black and white photocopy of a period photo of African Americans standing outside a store where a similar banner is hanging predominantly over the porch. SIZE: Banner measures 23 wide x 35-1/2” ( top to tip of tail); 26-5/8 wide x 40” long (incl. frame). CONDITION: Banner with some fraying along the edges, generally water staining throughout and with accompanying mild discoloration and with a few folding creases. Otherwise in very good condition considering early lack of preservation. 4-39850 JAL (5,000-6,000)
