Willie Lincoln, the third son of Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln, stands for this formal portrait, a rare view of a child who spent his short life in the national spotlight. Born in 1850, he moved into the White House with his family when his father took office in 1861. He died of typhoid fever there in February 1862, at age 11, and the loss devastated the president, who was reported to have returned to the temporary tomb where the boy had been placed. Portraits like this one remind viewers how young the Lincoln household was during the war.
