Manufacturers of Gold and Gold Plated Jewelry also, Carte de Visites of all Noted Persons, Trade List Sent Free. Providence, R.I.” Extremely rare. Lincoln, best known for overthrowing slavery through the Emancipation Proclamation and the Thirteenth Amendment, was the 16th president and first of the Republican Party and was one of the most photographed presidents in history.
