Description
Abraham Lincoln commemorative tintype depicts the President with a beard, sitting in a three-quarter profile pose and wearing a dark suit, bow tie, and white shirt. Lincoln appears relatively young in this portrait. The image is encased in a gilt metal frame. This tintype resembles those found on commemorative ribbons and pins after Lincoln's assassination.
