Few American figures appeared on advertising as often as Abraham Lincoln, and this card pairs two places central to his life: the Kentucky cabin where he was born in 1809 and the Springfield, Illinois, home he shared with his family before moving to Washington. Trade cards like this were handed out by businesses to customers, and the flags around the portrait signal the patriotic feeling that made Lincoln a favorite subject after his assassination in 1865. The card shows how a national hero could be used to carry a commercial message.
