Abe Lincoln framed print

[PA-198th-co.N]

I have this Framed print that my Grandfather handed down to me. I am trying to find out about when it was printed and what the value would be. On the bottom right hand corner it says, Printed by the Theo D. Murphy Co. Red Oak Iowa.

That's a beautiful print. If I had the money, I'd ask how much you'd want for it.

God bless!

Surely a local historian or artist could head you in the right direction. Just be careful who knows you have it, could be extremely valuable!

Your right Nathanb1 It is Thos C Murphy. I hit the wrong letters.

The size of the print with the frame is 31" h. x 24 1/2 " w.

Then it sounds like you can probably track it down pretty easily. I'd try emailing the local library or historical society first to see if you can find out who's an expert or maybe even if there's a local archive.....

It might also be wise to know what to insure it for.
