Abraham Lincoln
Taken by E&HT Anthony about February of 1865. Henry Ward Beecher commented
on Lincoln’s hair, ”It looked as though it was an abandoned stubble field. E
& H T Anthony sold stereoviews of this image after Lincoln's death and the
original negatives are now in the possession of the Library of Congress.
Keystone
View Company obtained permission to reprint this image in the 1920's or
1930's. It was made by Keystone and is from the rare History 100 card set
(the cards are numbered H1 to H100) from about the late 1930's. This set
features many unique photos of people, places, events, and objects of
importance in American History and contains many rare and unusual views that
were not included in any other sets. This card is titled "Abraham
Lincoln." with a Keystone negative number of 20816 and a position
number of H148. It is in excellent to near mint condition but has some
minor wear to the edge of the mount. It is a very strong image that's
crystal clear and in perfect focus. It measures 3 1/2" by
7". The back of the card is printed with information about the
subject.
