High praise from the pio!
Petrea: I...Thanks Ann. High praise from the pio!<br /><br />Petrea: It has been interesting and maddening looking for the missing painting. I've poked around town, been contacted by Lincoln memorabilia folks in NY and Illinois and talked to other locals who have searched. No sign of the painting. The Pas PL has a file on the painting and there was a flurry of correspondence about it in 1961 and the painting is plainly referred to as hanging in the library. To me, it is a missing treasure of this amazing city we live in. Think of it. We had one of a couple of replicas Cogswell did of his official WH Lincoln portrait. The original is in the WH collection, one replica hangs behind the speaker's podium in Sac and the other one hung for at least six decades in our PL!. I'd love to find the painting.Michael Coppesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17662927233777789003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-376851959525276763.post-72312823316471474522009-11-21T20:48:15.097-08:002009-11-21T20:48:15.097-08:00Fascinating stuff, Michael.
