Description

Robert Todd Lincoln Autograph, Clipped signature with Certificate of Authenticity~
Abraham Lincoln's son, Robert Todd Lincoln's signature in fountain pen ink, from a clipped document signed - Sincerely yours, Robert Todd Lincoln. The clipping also records the name of Lincoln's Law Partner, The Honorable Edward Swift Isham.
Edward Swift Isham (1836-1902)
Edward had become a prominent lawyer of Chicago and Republican member of the Illinois House of
Representatives, where he served a two-year term. After his term expired, the Ishams spent two years in Europe
before Edward returned to his Chicago law practice.
In February 1872 Isham began building the firm
for which the name was to become so illustrious. It was then that he admitted
29 year-old
Robert Todd Lincoln
,
the President’s son, to his practice as a junior
partner.
Robert Todd Lincoln (1843-1926)
Robert, eldest of Abraham
and Mary Todd Lincoln’s four sons, was their only child to survive to
adulthood.  A graduate of Exeter and Harvard, Robert had studied law at
Harvard Law School before transferring to the Law School at the old University
of Chicago and setting up a practice of his own in the city. The move to
Chicago was to accompany his mother, who wished to relocate there a month after
the president’s 1865 death.
Lincoln would serve as Secretary
of War under James A. Garfield, and Benjamin Harrison appointed him minister to
Great Britain, the post now known as Ambassador of the United States to the
Court of St James. He later became general counsel for the Pullman Palace Car
Company in 1893, and succeeded George Pullman as company president at Pullman’s
death in1897.
In addition to the COA, the auction winner will also receive a 4"x 6" reprint photograph of Robert Todd Lincoln which was taken at the 1922 dedication of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC. No International Shipping.
