Abstract
This presentation is about a multivolume, fine press book called The Life and Works of Abraham Lincoln, New York [1905]. The book is in the Special Collections department at the Grasselli Library, John Carroll University. The book was edited by John Nicolay and John Hay, Lincoln’s personal secretaries during the Civil War. The book is a wonderful example of the craftsmanship, planning, and materials that could go into making a deluxe edition of an author’s works at the turn of the 20th century. The history, construction, and artistic quality of the work are discussed.
