This is an original print, from the photographer's negative
prior to it becoming cracked in shipping, of Abraham Lincoln before he grew the famous beard. It has been, alas, trimmed down to fit a period oval frame (quite nice; black rim, dark wood frame, silvered lip, antique glass), but otherwise as it was made originally in approximately 1860. It is shown, in both this and its broken condition, in a famous book of Lincoln portraits.
Want it? Go to my auction at
eBid; top dollar takes it.
