Description
This engraving features a half-length portrait of Abraham Lincoln done from a photograph taken of him on February 27, 1860, in New York. Beardless, Lincoln posed standing and turned slightly toward the viewer's right and wearing a black coat and vest with a white button-down collared shirt and black bow tie. The cord to his eyeglasses lays diagonally across his chest. "Copyrighted and published 1899 by Dodd, Mead & Co New York." is printed below the image. The artist's signature written in pencil is in the bottom margin. Part of the Lincoln Financial Foundation Collection, courtesy of the Indiana State Museum
