Product Overview

This is an amazing piece of history!  I love the detail of this portrait of Abraham Lincoln in a macerated currency medium.  Macerated currency was a practice by the federal government to remove old bills (money) from circulation by soaking the currency in water until it broke down to a pulp.  This was a practice from 1874-1942.  This eventually became a medium for artist that created different types of American art.  This would be absolutely amazing framed in a shadowbox!  Please see pictures for more details.
