GETTYSBURG an Address - President Abraham Lincoln’s address in 1865 and its impact on the war between the states are detailed in this miniature book. The first book in the series, written by Austin Jones, was published in 1994. It includes two wood engravings by Jim Horton produced exclusively for this publication. The skill of engraving images onto wood for printing was much needed during the 1800’s and today is recognized as an art. This was the process used to print the images in books and periodicals such as the “Harper’s Weekly” during the time. This book contains miniature images of Abraham Lincoln and a battle scene during the war. Typesetting was done by Jean Jones, with the printing done by Austin. The binding was done by Linda Donaldson.

GETTYSBURG an Address - This hard back miniature book was completed in June 1994. It is 2 x 2.5 inches and contains 24 pages, including 2 wood engravings.
