Undated (ca. 1907) Abraham Lincoln Plaque. By Victor David Brenner. As Cunningham 24-190, but with greater than the published dimensions. Cast Bronze. Extremely Fine.350 mm x 455 mm (11 inches x 14.5 inches). A massive plaque portraying a half-length portrait of Lincoln facing right, with simple inscription 1809 . ABRAHAM . LINCOLN . 1865 at the bottom. Signed V. D. BRENNER at lower right. Pleasing hazelnut patina that is quite dark in the fields, but lightening on the higher elements of the portrait. The reverse is blank except for two integral mounting studs with a wire strung between them for suspension. A very large and handsome plaque that presents magnificently. A very rare variety of a perennially popular type of which Cunningham notes "thought to be as few as four known, including the ones with the marble."
