Family piece that just surfaced. Don't know anything about it. Print? mentions :" entered according to Act of Congress AD 1864 by J.C. Buttre in the clerks office of the Disfrict Court of the Sothern District of New York". " engraved and published by J.C. Buttre 48 Franklin St. NY.

Not an autograph. This is one of a series of president prints I believe. The "autograph" portion was on all of them.

agree w/Tom - and from my personal experience, these are all printed signatures on the engravings.

over many years I've stored/kept these as an "exemplar" (known vintage facsimile?) with my vintage signatures, as it's helped me to learn what's what (wishful thinking, perhaps) but w/ all of the alleged genuine/forgeries out there at least I had something to work with.

best,

The print itself look original.

Agreed. With all the foxing and staining it may be expensive to clean up but we are going to inquire with a conservator.
