Title: [Abraham Lincoln, three-quarter length portrait, seated and holding his spectacles and a pencil]
Creator(s): Gardner, Alexander, 1821-1882, photographer
Date Created/Published: [1865 Feb. 5, printed later]
Notes:
The Library has prints of two versions of Lincoln holding his spectacles: an 8x10 inch print from 'Emily Tinker positive' and a carte-de-visite-size print. Both are copies of a photo taken by Alexander Gardner at Gardner's Gallery in Washington, DC, on Sunday, February 5, 1865. This last photo session from life was long thought to have happened on April 10, 1865, but more recent research has indicated the earlier date in February.
The Library also has a glass transparency of this image, LC-B12-9773-X.
