Beschreibung:

All four in oval frames approx. 12 x 14 in. All with the typical four clusters of fruits or flowers around the inner part of the frame, and a leaf or ribbon pattern around the outer part of the frame. Only the last does not have this second design. Grant Family, "from a photograph," Philadelphia: John Dainty, n.d. A classic Lincoln family lithograph, with Robert in uniform looking over his father's shoulder, Tadd looking at the book in Abe's lap. George and Martha Washington, with George Washington Parke Custis and Nelly Custis behind the couple. These were Martha's grandchildren, raised by the Washingtons after their father died. Little George was the father of Ann Randolph Custis Lee, wife of Robert E. Lee. Plus what appears to be a color-enhanced photograph of a young woman who is unidentified. Condition: The gesso flowers on the Grant frame are beginning to chip. None of the prints or photos were removed from frames for examination.
