[Springfield, Ill., 1860 Aug. 13]

1 photograph : ambrotype ; plate 5 3/4 x 4 1/2 in.

Thought to be the last beardless portrait of Lincoln, this photo was "made for the portrait painter, John Henry Brown, noted for his miniatures in ivory. ... 'There are so many hard lines in his face,' wrote Brown in his diary, 'that it becomes a mask to the inner man. His true character only shines out when in an animated conversation, or when telling an amusing tale. ... He is said to be a homely man; I do not think so.'" (Source: Ostendorf, p. 62)

Published in: Lincoln's photographs: a complete album / by Lloyd Ostendorf. Dayton, OH: Rockywood Press, 1998, p. 62-63.

The original image of a man holding large camera photographing a cataclysmic event, possibly a volcano erupting is from an Underwood & Underwood negative. Unlike the stereograph, the circa 1908 image lacks descriptive text to pinpoint the subject. However this timeline indicates mount Baker and mount Hood in the North American Cascade range were active at this time. The image has no known restrictions on publication.
