    Original Civil War-Era Mourning Ribbon for President Abraham Lincoln - Inventory Number: POL 384

    A poignant silk mourning ribbon issued in tribute to President Abraham Lincoln following his assassination in April 1865. Printed on delicate, light-colored silk, the ribbon features a seated figure of Liberty draped in patriotic robes, leaning on a Union shield emblazoned with the word “UNION.” Above and below the image is the solemn inscription: “IN MEMORY OF OUR PRESIDENT.” This ribbon would have been worn by mourners during the national period of grief following Lincoln’s death and is a powerful emblem of Union loyalty and public sorrow.

    A remarkable artistic survivor from one of the most solemn moments in American history.

     Comes housed in 6 x 8 riker display case with black velvet and descriptive card.
