✨ Four rare Lincoln paintings are now on display in the Library’s atrium! Commissioned by the Chicago & Illinois Midland Railway in the 1930s for promotional calendars, these paintings depict scenes from Lincoln’s early life. In 2006, the railroad donated 20 of the original works to the ALPLM. 📖 Discover more about this unique collection on our blog: https://presidentlincoln.illinois.gov/about/blog/ #ALPLM #ILHistory #AbrahamLincoln #Lincoln | Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library & Museum
