Product Description
The 1999 White House Ornament honors President Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln's image is taken from the famous portrait by George P.A. Healy. It was commissioned by the Congress in 1869 for the White House. Today it hangs over the fireplace in the State Dining Room.
No president has left a more enduring mark on the White House than Abraham Lincoln. He rose from the grassroots to guide his country through its greatest crisis, the Civil War, and under his leadership the broken Union was mended for all time.
