Description
This etching is a head and shoulders portrait of President Abraham Lincoln done from a photograph taken on November 8, 1863, in Washington, D. C. His face and head are well defined, but his shoulders are vague outlines. Lincoln looks straight on and is wearing a bow tie. Written in the top left corner of the margin in pencil is S798. The artist's signature in pencil "Schneider" is written just below the bottom right corner of the image. Part of the Lincoln Financial Foundation Collection, courtesy of the Indiana State Museum
