The full beard and high-collared formal dress set this portrait apart, and the gallery files it under Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln began growing his beard in late 1860, after 11-year-old Grace Bedell wrote to suggest that it would improve his appearance, and the look soon became part of his public image. The dark suit and tie reflect mid-nineteenth-century formal dress, when studio portraits were a main way political figures reached the public. Photographs like this one helped spread his likeness across the country during the Civil War years.
