FEBRUARY CONTEST: Win Limited Edition Lincoln Merch!

SIGN UP FOR THE MAILING LIST (top left of this page) during the month of February for your chance to win a set of limited edition Abe Lincoln merchandise, created from images found in the archives of The Historical Society of Pennsylvania!

The set includes:

- SILKSCREENED POSTER: Allegorical Portrait of Abe Lincoln (full-text of the Emancipation Proclamation – how cool is that?!) The original was drawn with steel pen by R. Morris Swander and engraved by P.S. Duval & Sons of Philadelphia in 1865.

- THE ASSASSINATION OF LINCOLN POSTCARD. This image is a reproduction of a color lithograph, depicting Lincoln’s assassination at Ford’s Theatre. It was originally published by A. Pharazyn at 229 South Street in Phialdelphia, circa 1865.

- M/W CAMEO T-SHIRT. The text, “THO’ DEAD, HE LIVETH,” comes from a lithograph poster by H.G. Leisenring’s Steam-Power Printing House at Jayne’s Building, 237 and 239 Dock Street, Philadelphia, circa 1865.

One male and one female winner will be randomly selected on February 28. Good luck…and Happy 200th Birthday, Abe!

[...] Okay, I don’t know what that last paragraph was (was I talking to myself? Was someone else talking to me? Was it that nice homeless man I met this evening?) but I am indeed having a good time in Philly. But you don’t care about that, you care about tees. Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12th 1809, so his bicentennial is coming up, and Art in the Age decided to celebrate this in a pretty big way. They’ve released the two limited edition tees shown above, the images for which were sourced from the archives of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, who will be receiving a portion of all sales of the tees. In addition to that, they’re holding a contest to give away bevy of Honest Abe related goodies, including the tee (obviously), a postcard of his assassination (sure, why not!), and a beautiful silk-screened poster portrait of Lincoln that is made up of the text from the Emancipation Proclamation. It’s pretty rare that the terms ‘beautiful’ and ‘Lincoln’ get used in the same sentence, but I spotted the poster in the office today at the place I’m interning and it looked awesome. To be eligible all you have to do is sign up for their mailing list before the drawing on Feb. 28th, all the details you need can be found here. [...]

Thank you for the offering. This is so great. I remember when I did a research paper on Lincoln many years ago.

No matter how many times the “annointed one” implies that HE is the new Lincoln of this millenium…HE ISN'T!!!
