1907 Lincoln Birth Centennial Plaque. Cast Bronze. 180 mm x 242 mm. By Victor David Brenner. Cunningham 24-060Bz, King-1146. Extremely Fine.Mounted on green marble (222 mm x 272 mm) with hinged bronze easel. Inscription ABRAHAM LINCOLN / **1809 * 1865** at the bottom. Signed at lower right with the oval monogram of the sculptors initials and the date, and with the additional inscription COPYRIGHT 1907 BY VD BRENNER presented vertically, starting from the lower right edge of the image area. Additionally stamped on the lower edges of the plaque and again on the easel: S. KLABER & CO. / FOUNDERS, N.Y. Pleasing hazelnut patina with no significant defects. There are some very minor chips to the edges of the green marble base, but none are distracting. One of the screws is missing from the reverse, and another appears to be a replacement. A very nice example of a perennially popular type with a reported production of just 25 pieces in this format.ppp
