Description

This small sepia toned carte-de-visite features President Abraham Lincoln from the waist up, facing the viewer's right. He wears a black suit, white collared shirt, and black bow tie. His hair is combed to the side and he wears a full beard. The background is a light mid-tone. The image is outlined with a dark line and the words "C.D. FREDERICKS & Co. N.Y." are printed along the bottom left margin. The card itself measures 4" x 2.5." President Lincoln posed for the photograph in 1861.
