FOR SALE: Lincoln-Spencer Painting - Test Firing the Spencer Rifle

[Two Flints]

Hello SSS,

I tried to scan the entire 12" x 16" reproduction painting shown below, but portions of the original reproduction were cut off   This print is available from the Illinois State Military Museum for $10.00 each.  The money goes to help support the museum.  If you collect such Spencer memorabilia, as I do, I think it is a good buy.  The text reads. "President Abraham lincoln test firing a Spencer repeating rifle in front of the White House on August 18, 1863.  What was cut off?  A portion of the wooden target block and an military officer standing behind Lincoln.  Chris Spencer is shown to the far right holding a magazine tube.

Thanks again to SSS member, 12th Illinois, for the original thread he started on the Illinois State Military Museum.

Just took a photo of the Lincoln-Spencer print with my film camera so this will give you a more complete look at the original if you decide to buy one.  The original reproduction is much better than my film copy reproduction shown here!
