This daguerreotype shows Abraham Lincoln seated, photographed in three-quarter length and facing the camera directly. Made around 1846 to 1847, it dates from the period when Lincoln was a practicing lawyer in Springfield, Illinois, and had just been elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. Daguerreotypes like this one were made on polished silvered copper, so each is a single, mirror-like image that reverses left and right and must be tilted to be seen clearly. Few portraits of Lincoln from these years survive, which makes this early image of him especially valued.
