Abraham Lincoln continues to stand as America's most beloved President. Of our nation's historical icons, Lincoln is the quintessential embodiment of American possibility in his mythic-like rise from rail-splitter to Chief Executive and Emancipator of the oppressed. The admiration felt by Americans for Lincoln's humble integrity, his noble statesmanship, and his keen sense of justice, is beautifully captured in the d'Aulaires' art and prose.

Not since 1957 have d'Aulaire fans been able to enjoy the beauty of the stone lithographic work that earned these beloved author-artists the prestigious Caldecott Medal in 1940. Now, in honor of the 75th Anniversary of their Caldecott Medal award, and marking a century and a half of emancipation, readers young and old will delight in this biography of America's most beloved President. Beautiful Feet Books worked with Timothy Young, curator of Beinecke Rare Books and Manuscript Collection at Yale University Library, to restore the original art through brand new reproductions of the 1939 lithographic proofs.

"This 2015 edition from Beautiful Feet Books allows readers to view Abraham Lincoln as the d'Aulaires saw him. Because of the care with color reproduction and the heavy ivory paper selected for the book, contemporary audiences can finally see why the d'Aulaires artwork was held in awe by those who first saw it published." - Anita Silvey

"This facsimile edition shares a similar dedication to detail and wonderfully conveys the sense of joy and beauty found in the original." - Timothy Young

About the Authors:

Ingri Mortenson and Edgar Parin D'Aulaire met in Munich where both were studying art in the 1920's. Ingri had grown up in Norway; Edgar, the son of a noted portrait painter, was born in Switzerland and had lived in Paris and Florence. Shortly after their marriage, they moved to the United States and began to create the picture books that have established their reputation for unique craftsmanship. Their books were known for their vivid lasting color. This was the result of the painstaking process of stone lithography used for all their American history biographies. This was an old world craft, in which they were both expert, which involved actually tracing their images on large slabs of Bavarian limestone.

Throughout their long careers, Ingri and Edgar worked as a team on both art and text. Their research took them to the actual places of their biographies, including the countries of Italy, Portugal and Spain when they were researching Columbus; to the hills of Virginia while they researched Washington; and to the wilds of Kentucky and Illinois for Abraham Lincoln, winner of the 1940 Caldecott Medal. The fact that they spoke 5 languages fluently served them well in their European travels and in their research of original documents. Since their deaths in the 1980's, Ingri and Edgar's books and works have been kept alive by their two sons Ola and Nils.

Pleasantly surprised!
Color: Beige, Size: 35" x 23"x 3.5"
This bed is thick, plush, soft and has both a furry plush side and a cooler canvas side. It's the perfect size for my dog's crate and he does seem to really enjoy laying on it. It's super easy to clean - washes up nicely on delicate and with a low tumble dry. I had no issues waiting for it to fluff up after being unpackaged, too. It was good to go by that evening. I was expecting, at this price point, something flimsy with loose threads. Overall, I think it's much thicker and nicer than I was expecting for the price! Thinking about grabbing another one before they disappear!

Thick and soft
Color: Grey, Size: 35" x 23"x 3.5", Color: Grey, Size: 35" x 23"x 3.5"
We and the corgis love the bed. We got the large size so that both corgis could be on it together so the large size is perfect for 2 small to medium breed dogs that like to snuggle/sleep together. The bed is surprisingly thick and soft and well made. It appears that it will be fairly easy to machine wash and dry and I suspect if the pups do not decide to demolish it like they do their stuffy toys, it will last a good long time. It is definitely a good buy for the money.

I purchased the 35x23” in beige. I know this is a dog bed, but I am using it as a comfy mat in my prayer room. It’s nice and soft and fits right where I needed it. Perfect for when I get on my knees to pray at the cross.

Perfect fit in my dog crate, nice loft to it
Color: Grey, Size: 35" x 23"x 3.5"
Really nice dog bed, fits perfectly in the crate that I have. This thing is rather large and bulky and difficult to wash. I wish that there was a zipper on it and that you could remove the stuffing so that you can wash just the cover. Before putting it inside the dog crate, I had it on my couch. My daughter thought it was a new pillow for her to use and was bummed when I told her it was for the dogs. She liked it and thought it was quite comfortable.
