ABE LINCOLN ARTPRINT by LLOYD OSTENDORF.       WAREHOUSE FIND

An artist, photographer, and Lincoln historian, Lloyd Ostendorf was born in Dayton in 1921. A gifted child artist, he became fascinated with Abraham Lincoln’s face on a penny which his mother had given him.

Lloyd collected and owned the largest collection of Lincoln pictures and memorabilia in the United States. He wrote two biographical books about Lincoln (both illustrated by the artist), created two books of illustrations about Lincoln, and edited and illustrated another biography of his beloved Lincoln. Even in his other hobby – boating – Lloyd carried over his love of Lincoln by naming his steamboat replica Abraham Lincoln.

It was a pleasure to know Lloyd and call him a friend.  We met him originally while taking a cruise on the famed Delta Queen up and down  the Mississippi.  Lloyd was drawing portraits in pencil of passengers.  We fell in love with the quality his pencil creations. We commissioned and published many Ostendorf Pencil ArtPrints back in the 70’s and 80s of famous people and various animals.
