ABRAHAM “JACK” LINCOLN II (1873-1890). Abraham “Jack” Lincoln was the only son of Robert Todd Lincoln. He died in London of blood poisoning, where his father was Ambassador, after unsuccessful surgery to repair a carbuncle; he was just sixteen. He is buried at Arlington in his father’s plot. SB. 303 pgs. No date. No place. A book, Brake Up from the Lake Shore Series, signed “A Lincoln A6” by the grandson and namesake of President Abraham Lincoln. He signed on the first free endpage. “A6” refers to the book catalog number in his private library. The book is bound in brown cloth with gilt stamping. It is in very good condition overall with very light wear to the spine. This volume originally came from Dr. Norman Boas at Seaport Autographs. Of all of the members of the Lincoln family, Jack Lincoln’s autograph is among the rarest due to his early death.
