The image at left is a close-up view of an india paper proof of this intriguing Lincoln design. A reduced view of the entire large die proof can be seen below left. There were two additional
designs for the 3c, both featuring portraits of the allegorical figure
of Columbia. Directly below are the 1c, 2c, and 6c essays from this
series (the 1c and 6c are photo essays).
Click on the image at left to see a slightly more magnified view of the design. |
