The ornate album mount is the first thing to notice: the decorative card once framed the photograph in a family album, and the sepia tone points to the 1860s and 1870s, when studio portraits were widely collected and exchanged. The record files this portrait under Abraham Lincoln, though the title does not confirm the sitter's identity. The man's full beard fits Lincoln's appearance after the 1860 election, when he began wearing the beard that became his trademark. Such albums were a common way Americans kept images of public figures.
