Description

Several short strands of Lincoln’s hair encapsulated in a plastic cube and displayed alongside a similar cube containing strands of Seward’s hair, as well as one with a swatch of Lincoln's deathbed sheet, double-matted together with a descriptive passage to an overall size of 10.75 x 14. In fine condition. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from the Historical Shop, stating that the hair came from collected by Mrs. Caroline Wright which were sold by Christie’s as part of the Forbes collection in 2002; the death bed sheet relic originated from the effects of Charles K. Tuckerman, who was the first American ambassador to Greece.
