"The earlier than usual start time to this auction is a concession to the monumental size – over 500 lots – of our first major online-only sale of the summer," said John Reznikoff, the president and owner of University Archives. "We're proud to announce that, once again, we've been chosen to catalog and offer at auction important items from the prestigious Forbes Collection." Mr. Reznikoff added, "University Archives regulars will recall that we last offered items deaccessioned from the Forbes Collection four years ago. We're delighted to present more phenomenal ex-Forbes items in our June sale, with additional pieces to come throughout 2024." Highlighted collecting categories in the June sale include U.S. Presidential, Aviation / Space, Music, Entertainment, Early America, Military and Sports, plus many other desirable categories. Lot 62 is the carte de visite photo of Abraham Lincoln, signed by him (as "A. Lincoln") along the bottom, PSA/DNA graded GEM MT 10. The original photograph was taken by Anthony Berger on Feb. 9, 1865. A handwritten inscription on verso indicates the carte de visite was presented to a well-wisher on March 25, 1865, less than three weeks before Lincoln was killed. It may have been one of the last photographs that Lincoln ever signed. With outstanding provenance from Charles Hamilton; ex-Christie's (est. $100,000-$150,000) Here is a link to the catalog on the University Archives website: https://auction.universityarchives.com/ For more information, please visit www.universityarchives.com.
