An oval-framed portrait of Abraham Lincoln, with his signature printed beneath the image, sets this picture apart from the many full-length and profile views of him in the gallery. Oval vignettes like this were a popular format in the nineteenth century, when printed portraits were copied from photographs or paintings and sold to a public eager for likenesses of the president. The printed signature was a common device meant to lend the image a sense of personal authenticity, even though Lincoln did not sign the picture himself. Worth noticing is how the seated pose and soft oval border reflect the conventions of formal portraiture of his era.
