Lincoln stands in this three-quarter length portrait, turned to his left, in a picture dated 1864. The record describes it as a copy negative made from an earlier photographic print, and it credits James F. Gibson, a photographer working during the war, with the original image. The year was an election year, and Lincoln sat for many portraits as he sought a second term while Union armies pressed on. Pictures like this circulated widely in that period, in print and as small card photographs, and they shaped how many Northern readers saw their president.
