Mysterious ladies 19th century sketchbook

I found this amazing sketchbook from the 1880s at an estate sale in Springfield Illinois where it’s been its whole entire life. My favorite surprise came towards the end when I found an original sketch of Abraham Lincoln without his beard.

Fascinating! As someone who has filled up many a sketchbook with drawings, I sometimes wonder where they will end up. Thanks for sharing.
