He was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 1963. Lincoln (1848-1938) will be featured in a major exhibition, the Richard York Gallery announced today. 199 platinum prints drawn from Lincoln's eight-volume portfolio entitled Wild Flowers of New England will be on view from September 19, 2002, through October 26, 2002. These 199 photographs, illustrative of the American Arts and Crafts movement, represent nearly half of the prints Lincoln produced over a 20-year period between 1893 and 1914 for his Wild Flowers of New England. The simplicity and precision of Lincoln's images also caught the eye of Gustave Stickley, who published Lincoln's work in several issues of The Craftsman to illustrate the fundamental aesthetics of the American Arts and Crafts movement. An impassioned botanist, Lincoln intended his Wild Flowers of New England series to preserve images of the wildflowers of his homeland around Lenox, Massachusetts, and the surrounding Berkshire landscape. Throughout the course of the 20-year project, Lincoln remained steadfast in shooting a single exposure of each plant using an 8x10 inch view camera and printing the image by hand on platinum paper. Lincoln then mounted each print on a backing that was inscribed in·scribe tr.v. in·scribed, in·scrib·ing, in·scribes 1. a. To write, print, carve, or engrave (words or letters) on or in a surface. b. To mark or engrave (a surface) with words or letters. with the flower's Latin and common names. All of the photographs in the York show retain these original mounts of deckle-edged paper. Lincoln's method of producing prints was difficult and extraordinarily time-consuming. Today, complete sets of Wild Flowers are rare. Only two complete volumes of 400 prints are known to exist -- in the collections of the Lenox (Massachusetts) Library Association and the New York Public Library New York Public Library, free library supported by private endowments and gifts and by the city and state of New York.
