Tad's Scrapbook Lincoln's Boy: For the Young In Heart of All Ages

VERY INTERESTING AND SPECIAL BOOK, PRIVATELY PRINTED BY CHARLES BAUER, LIMITED TO 2000 NUMBERED COPIES, AND PERSONALLY INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR.

From the imagination of Charles Bauer of Silver Spring, MD, comes this charming illustrated book aimed at a younger audience. It imagines what Abraham Lincoln's son, Tad, would have imagined about his father through the use of cartoons and stories that were published at the time of Lincoln - 1860s. It even cites use of Lewis' Carroll's images of Alice in cartoons from Punch and otherwise - see last listing photo.

What a interesting perspective!
