Please join us on Zoom for this fascinating Coffee Talk, presented by the Des Plaines History Center & Des Plaines Public Library:
Conservator and art historian Barry Bauman will recount how he discovered an iconic portrait of First Lady Mary Lincoln – valued at $400,000 – was a forgery!
First Lady Mary Lincoln’s granddaughter purchased a portrait of Mary Lincoln attributed to the artist Francis Carpenter in 1929. The granddaughter's son, Abraham Lincoln's last living descendant, donated the painting to the Illinois State Historical Library and it hung in the Governor’s Mansion in Springfield, IL for decades.
Thank you to our sponsor, Village Bank & Trust.
