Lot #8:

Lincoln George Clark Ambrotype

A magnificent Abraham Lincoln campaign item from 1860, the Clark ambrotype is considered by many to be the most desirable of Lincoln campaign items. This 2 1/8-inch by 2 5/8-inch ambrotype still has its original Geo. Clark Jr. and Co. of Boston paper on back. It has a crack in glass as pictured and some flaking in the emulsion at top. A rare opportunity.
