Accidental Mysteries: 07.01.12

One of the most recognizable faces in American history is that of President Abraham Lincoln. From the most solemn and respected paintings and statues in Washington, DC to humble folk art carvings, Lincoln has been the subject of our affection since his assassination in 1865. Today, with Lincoln being depicted as a vampire hunter, I decided to take a look at Lincoln as others have depicted him.

Accidental Mysteries is an online curiosity shop of extraordinary things, mined from the depths of the online world and brought to you each week by John Foster, a writer, designer and longtime collector of self-taught art and vernacular photography. “I enjoy the search for incredible, obscure objects that challenge, delight and amuse my eye. More so, I enjoy sharing these discoveries with the diverse and informed readers of Design Observer.”
