Few American faces are as widely recognized as Abraham Lincoln's, and this portrait belongs to a long run of images made during his lifetime and after his death. Lincoln sat for photographers and painters more often than most public figures of his day, and studio portraits were copied as engravings and carte de visite cards that reached households across the country. Looking closely at a portrait like this shows how the image of a president was shaped by the technology and the taste of his era, not just by the man himself.
