Artifact Overview
Abraham and Mary Lincoln purchased a small home in Springfield, Illinois in 1844, shortly after their marriage. In 1856, with a growing family and income, they enlarged the house, seen here. After the 1860 election, they sold most of their furnishings and rented the house. This print, published in 1865 is likely a memorial - it shows a bearded Lincoln, though he did not have one in 1858.

Dogs guard, guide, hunt and herd, but they also entertain, inspire and offer comfort. In exchange for their pets' loyalty, owners provide room, board, and affection. Owners convey love and respect for their working dogs in personal ways, through portraits and photographs. And businesses capitalize on public affection for dogs and puppies by featuring them in advertisements and showcasing them on consumable products from tableware to trinkets.
