The most distinctive thing about this picture is its subject: a bas-relief medallion made for the 1909 centennial of Lincoln's birth, shown in profile. The sculptor, Victor David Brenner, also designed the Lincoln cent that entered circulation that same year, and this portrait is closely related to that coin. The cent was the first regular U.S. coin to bear the likeness of a real person, which helped make Lincoln's profile one of the most familiar images in the country. This print records the medallion as it was photographed for the anniversary.
