1907 Lincoln Birth Centennial Plaque. Cast Bronze. 180 mm x 239 mm. By Victor David Brenner. Cunningham 24-060Bz, King-1146. Extremely Fine.

Mounted on green marble (215 mm x 272 mm) with hinged bronze easel. Inscription ABRAHAM LINCOLN / **1809 * 1865** at the bottom. Signed at lower right with the oval monogram of the sculptor's initials and the date 1907, and with the additional inscription COPYRIGHT 1907 BY V. D. BRENNER presented vertically, starting from the lower right edge of the image area. The letters ENNER in Brenner's name in the vertical inscription are faint to absent. Pleasing hazelnut patina with no significant defects for the plaque. There are some very minor chips to the corners of the green marble base, but none are distracting. One of the screws holding the easel in place is loose, but it is still functional. A very nice example of a perennially popular type that has a reported production of just 25 pieces in this format.
