Honoring Lincoln

A friend just called my attention to this bicentennial stamp issued to celebrate Lincoln's birthday this week. There are apparently four such stamps. This one shows the President conferring with his most successful generals, Grant and Sherman, on the steamer River Queen in 1865. The original picture also included Admiral David Porter sitting on the right.
