[LINCOLN, Abraham (1809-1865)]. Mention of President Lincoln, next to ads for Ford’s Theatre. In the National Intelligencer. Washington: Thursday, December 24, 1863. Vol. LXIV, No. 9,577. 4 pp. on newsprint broadsheet (each page 620 x 478 mm). Paper is toned at edges, creased, with some foxing, soiling, previous owner’s signature at upper right corner of p. [1]. A PROCLAMATION BY LINCOLN IS MENTIONED IN THE FIFTH COLUMN OF P. [3], NAMING HENRY PREAUT AS THE VICE CONSUL TO RUSSIA; IMMEDIATELY TO THE RIGHT AND BELOW THIS PROCLAMATION ARE ADS FOR FORD’S NEW THEATRE. An unusual and ironic item.

Vol. LXIV, No. 9,566. 4 pp. on newsprint broadsheet (each page 620 x 478 mm). Paper is toned at edges, creased, with some foxing, soiling, previous owner’s signature at upper right corner of p. [1].
