[LINCOLN, ABRAHAM]. BRADY, MATHEW. Seated carte-de-visite portrait, taken in 1862, with the "E Anthony" backstamp. A striking, meditative image of the President: "possibly while Brady was loading his camera, Lincoln sank into a reverie, and the alert photographer, eager for so intimate a pose, asked him to hold the position." Hamilton/Ostendorf O-60.
