unusual art / document

By jewels88, 1 January, 2008
Description

I found this in my dads basement when we were cleaning it out. It was rolled up and almost got tossed. My dad doesn't recall where or why he got it but the note written on it was from someone named Bill Rowley? and dated 1954. The copywrite says it was done by A. H. Grant. It is actually kinda cool. It's the  Proclamation of emancipation written in an oval shape and some of the words have been written much bolder to form the portrait of President Lincoln. The paper is some sort of parchment and is very crispy. I just think it is very interesting and was wondering if anyone can tell me anything about it? The frame it is in is just on I put it in to flaten it out and protect it from further damage. I had to tape a few rips which I taped on the backside with scotch tape.
