EXTREMELY FINE. THIS IS BELIEVED TO BE THE ONLY EXTANT EXAMPLE OF THIS EXTRAORDINARY ENGRAVED LINCOLN PORTRAIT ENVELOPE.
The unusually fine quality of the stationery and skillfully-executed engraving, as well as the style of the sender's handwriting, strongly suggest that this was produced by a German engraver and publisher and used by someone of German nationaility. This cover is illustrated in the Milgram book (AL-123, p. 79) and was featured on the front cover of our Sale 758 when it was offered on behalf of Morrison Waud. It is generally regarded as one of the greatest of all Lincoln portrait covers.
