As noted in one of the first etchings, Wall requested Barton to write a piece on Abraham Lincoln for the creation of a small etched book. Wall created an etched dedication to Barton on one of the first pages. "Artist and historian, Bernhardt Wall (1872-1956) was a pioneer etcher and producer of fine press books who treated a vast array of subjects, including Texas and the Southwest" (Texas A&M). There are a total of 12 beautiful etchings in this book. The work of Wall is unique in that he not only drew the etchings for his books, but he also printed and bound them.
