A young man with a full moustache poses in a studio with a walking cane, in the formal style of carte de visite portraits that were popular in the decades after the Civil War. The record does not name him, so his identity and reasons for sitting are unknown. Its place among the Lincoln death images reflects how the board groups pictures by theme, not a documented link to the president's assassination in April 1865. Studio portraits like this were often exchanged among family and friends, and the warm brown tone is characteristic of albumen prints from that era.
