Isaac Diller, Printed Souvenir Print “Lincoln Home 1860,” Signed
$875.00
A Springfield Neighbor, and Friend of Lincoln’s sons
Description
Famously, Diller was standing at the corner of the Lincoln home while Boston photographer John Adams Whipple was taking an image of Lincoln and sons Willie and Tad on the porch. Diller is blurred because, as the printed caption explains, “A squeaking farm wagon coming down the side street caused the lad on the sidewalk to turn his head while the picture was being taken.”
A print of a print, but certainly clear enough to see the details of the image. An unusual offering!
Diller, Isaac R. (1854-1948; Lincoln’s next-door neighbor) Printed Souvenir Print “Lincoln Home 1860…”, Signed boldly in ink “Isaac R. Diller” [March 1938] at the bottom. 9-1/8” x 7-1/4”.
