label: Description
content: Edward Hooker Ensign partnered with Erastus Bridgman and Thomas Fanning in 1854, forming Ensign, Bridgman, & Fanning. Their business operated until 1863, when Fanning left, and then it continued as just Ensign & Bridgman until 1868. Based in New York City, this firm primarily produced illustrated maps, but produced this commemorative Lincoln print after his assassination, capitalizing on the popularity of the late President’s image.
