Abraham Lincoln sits for this head-and-shoulders portrait, a format that kept attention on his face, which many contemporaries described as deeply lined and careful in expression. Photographs of Lincoln were made in large numbers during his presidency, and the camera gave the public a sense of the man that paintings and engravings could not fully supply. Portraits like this one were widely copied and circulated after the Civil War, helping shape the image of Lincoln that Americans kept for generations. Look closely at the tonal range of the black and white print, which shows how early photographic studio lighting drew out the texture of his hair, brow and beard.
