Was Abraham Lincoln a spiritualist? : or, curious revelations from the life of a trance medium
A 1917 Chicago book by Nettie Colburn Maynard, published by the Progressive Thinker Publishing House, examining Abraham Lincoln's supposed interest in spiritualism through the account of a trance medium. The four plates are black-and-white studio portraits of period sitters, showing standing and seated men and women in 19th-century dress against plain studio backdrops, useful to a designer seeking vintage formal portrait poses and soft grey tonal backgrounds.
