Description

Bush on Lincoln—"Freeing the slaves, preserving the union. What a magnificent legacy"

Wonderful handwritten statement from George Bush on an off-white 7 x 9.5 engraving of President Abraham Lincoln by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, which reads, in full: "I have great respect for this man. He overcame enormous odds [to] preserve the union. He still inspires us all. Freeing the slaves, preserving the union. What a magnificent legacy." Signed at the conclusion by Bush. Matted and framed with a photo and caption to an overall size of 19.5 x 15.5. In fine condition, with fading to the portrait of Bush. Accompanied by the original "Office of George Bush" transmittal letter and the original mailing envelope postmarked June 1, 1994. A unique display piece connecting two American presidents.
