August 20, 1857

DAILY ILLINOIS STATE JOURNAL, Springfield, Aug. 20, 1857 

* Abraham Lincoln lawyer advertisement

This is an uncommon newspaper from Abraham Lincoln's hometown, containing near the top of the front page an advertisement, albeit rather small, for "LINCOLN & HERNDON, Attorneys and Counsellors At Law".
A very desirable and early reminder of Lincoln's law practice before he would be thrust into American history forever. Also, this is likely the only newspaper in the country in which this ad could be found.
Four pages, rejoined at the spine, nice condition.
