Unlike a portrait, this stereograph shows a two-story building with figures spread across its lawn, and the gallery files it under Abraham Lincoln. Stereographs were made as pairs of nearly identical photographs that, viewed through a stereoscope, merged into a single image with striking depth, a popular parlor pastime in the 1860s and 1870s. Lincoln was one of the most photographed Americans of his day, and wartime Washington drew many photographers, so views like this offer a sense of the period's public life. The record does not name the building, so its exact identity remains open.
