Photo shows a Cleveland, Columbus & Cincinnati Railroad engine, with a portrait of Abraham Lincoln mounted on the front. The engine was one of several used to carry Lincoln's body from Washington, D.C., to Springfield, Ill. This photograph is a copy, probably made in the early 1900s, of a photo taken in 1865. Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division.

Embroidery depicts an owl in a tree, the trunk is wound by a snake climbing, there’s a deer at the lower portion of the trunk, there’s a tortoise to one side approaching a river that has a fish swimming downstream and a hedgehog at the very top, above the tree. There is writing down one side, but I don’t know what it says.
