He guys, I've has this for a while and thought some members here would like a cool Lincoln avatar if bobby agrees or maybe he can crop and add it to the master communal list?

It's a 1940 playbill to the old infamous Biltmore Theatre in LA. Seems like they had a play going called "Abe in Illinois" and used Norman Rockwell's portrait of him.

Also, a question... If this was play was resurrected today, relativly close to you, would you go?

BTW, Raymond Massey, great Canadian actor.

Oh yeah, I like this portrait of Lincoln by Norman Rockwell. I would like to use it. I just need to do some editing in Photoshop.

I would absolutely go to see the play! Abe Lincoln was an incredible attorney and advocate and I look up to him as I work my way through law school. What a great man!

Cool srs. I think the orange background makes it pop more for an avatar but now there's a choice

Thanks Cascade, the beauty of this is now, if you save the picture as the .png it is and have some photoshop skills you can place whatever color/type of background you want on it. I just isolated the image of Lincoln. The .png file is not actually white it's clear/blank. If someone wants a specific color let me know and I'll post it.

Here's an example..
