A sepia-toned studio portrait shows a man in a dark jacket and bow tie, and although the record does not name him, the picture sits among views of the Lincoln Home in Springfield, Illinois, where Abraham Lincoln lived with his family from 1844 until he left for Washington in 1861. Studio portraits like this one were a common way for people to sit for a lasting likeness, and the warm brown tone of sepia printing was popular from the late 1800s into the early 1900s. Pictures like this help show how the photographic portrait became part of everyday life in the decades after Lincoln's time in the house.
