Abraham Lincoln, and the downfall of American slavery
Noah Brooks's 1894 biography of Abraham Lincoln, published in New York by G.P. Putnam's Sons, is a general-readership history of Lincoln and the end of American slavery. The four pictures are not from its text but are decorative horizontal ornament bands: scrolling foliage, birds, a shell motif and a cherub's head, in engraved black-and-white line work that a designer could adapt for borders, friezes or header strips.
