Taken in Pittsfield, Illinois, on October 1, 1858, this portrait shows Abraham Lincoln about two weeks before the last of his debates with Stephen A. Douglas. He was then campaigning for a seat in the U.S. Senate, a race he lost to Douglas. The image was made from an ambrotype by Calvin Jackson, a glass-plate process popular in the 1850s, and this gelatin silver print was made later from that original. It is a useful record of Lincoln during the campaign that brought him national attention.
