This three-quarter-length portrait shows Lincoln seated and turned to the right, a pose that gave the image a calm, formal presence. Anthony Berger made the photograph at Mathew Brady's gallery in Washington, D.C., where Lincoln and many other officials sat for portraits during the Civil War. The record dates it to February 9, 1864, and notes that the print was made later. The image became the model for the portrait on the United States five-dollar bill, which helped make this view of Lincoln one of the most widely seen in the country.
