No name for the sitter is recorded, so this portrait of a bearded man in a dark suit and bow tie is best read through its setting. Its place on a board devoted to the Gettysburg Address points to late 1863, when Abraham Lincoln delivered his brief speech at the dedication of the soldiers' national cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Formal dress like this, with a dark coat and neat tie, was typical of studio portraits of the period, when sitters held still for long exposures. The clothing and grooming offer a useful guide to how men presented themselves in public at the time.
