Copy of photo by Alexander Gardner taken at Gardner's Gallery in Washington, DC, on Sunday, February 5, 1865. This last photo in Lincoln's last photo session from life was long thought to have been made on April 10, 1865, but more recent research has indicated the earlier date in February. Image shows crack in original negative, which was broken and discarded back in 1865. The original surviving print is at the National Portrait Gallery.
