Vintage albumen photo capturing Abraham Lincoln seated with hands at his sides. While no photographer or date is listed, the fact that Lincoln has a beard means that the photo was taken sometime between 1861 and 1865. The photo (8 x 10 inches) displays an irregularly trimmed right border and numerous minor surface wrinkles throughout (most are only visible when viewed at certain angles). In Very Good to Excellent condition overall. Reserve $300. Estimate $500/$1,000
