Drinkwater's play, presented here by William Harris Jr., turned Lincoln into a subject for the modern stage. John Drinkwater, an English poet and dramatist, wrote *Abraham Lincoln* in 1918, and it drew wide attention in both Britain and the United States. The large color lithograph was printed by T.J. Hayes Printing Co. of New York and signed by C.B. Falls, an illustrator known for bold, decorative poster work in the early twentieth century. Its scale reflects how theatrical posters were meant to catch the eye of passersby on city streets.
