Abraham Lincoln's Presidential China [reproduction]

This reproduction Presidential china is in Sandburg's Lincolnia collection. Sandburg wrote about what President Lincoln had for dinner and could nearly taste it. He enlightened readers about Lincoln the president and the man. Lincoln scholar Lloyd Lewis wrote in The New York Herald Tribune, "There has never been such a summoning of witnesses before in American literature or law, no such marshaling of incident, such sifting of rumor, such collecting of evidence, eye-witness and hearsay, as the author here produces. They illumine the manifold cares of a President...In thirty odd years across which he has been collecting Lincolniana, Sandburg has gone everywhere he heard a Lincoln letter or an observation on the man might be stored. And his product, like his poems, a singularly eloquent use of contemporary anecdote and language. What people said about Lincoln, what they saw him do, what they heard he said and did-it is all here.."
