Lincoln's face turned to the right, a three-quarter view that photographers of the 1860s often favored, gives this portrait its distinct character compared with the many straight-on studio images of him. Sepia tones were common in the period's photographic prints, and they softened the stark black and white of earlier daguerreotypes into warm browns. Lincoln sat for numerous portraits during his presidency, and the public relied on such images, copied and reproduced, to form their picture of a leader guiding the country through the Civil War.
