Abraham Lincoln and his Son Tad, Last Formal Photograph

Item Details

Description

Albumen photograph, 10 x 14 in., mounted to 13.5 x 17.5 in. and placed in a carved wood frame with gilt filet, 21 x 30.5 in. overall.

One of the last images of Abraham Lincoln, housed in a unique, broken-chain Emancipation Proclamation frame.

This photograph was taken at Alexander Gardner's Washington, DC studio, on February 5, 1865 -- one of five poses captured during the final formal studio session Lincoln would ever sit for. With his son Tad beside him, the president appears to crack a slight smile, perhaps sensing the coming Union victory. Adding to the appeal of the lot is the hand-carved wood frame, which we believe to be unique. At top center is a carved document dated Jan. 1, 1863 -- the date President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation -- which is positioned as if breaking a chain -- the "Chains of Slavery."

Condition

Even toning to print. Area near Tad has lightened a bit in relation to rest of print. Frame with old repaired fracture along bottom portion.
