c. 1865 Civil War Period, Albumen Photograph of President Abraham Lincoln from the familiar 1864 Matthew Brady Portrait as it was displayed for the U.S. $5 Bill, Choice Extremely Fine.
Authentic large handsome Oval Albumen Portrait Photograph of President Abraham Lincoln from the original in 1864 by photographer Matthew Brady. It measures 5.25” x 7.25” and is period mounted, as originally made for display, to a larger oval mat measuring to an overall size of 8” x 9.75”. This impressive, high quality example is ready to be framed for display. Some light tone to the far outer edges of the mat being well away from the image. A famous and very well known historic Brady Civil War image of Lincoln due to its use on United States $5 notes. No publisher’s credit or tax stamp, most likely issued in 1865, having excellent contrast and eye appeal.
