Abraham Lincoln
|
In the afternoon of February 9, 1864, President
Lincoln, escorted by artist Francis B. Carpenter,
walked more than a mile to Mathew Brady’s Washington
studio, where he sat for several photographs, including
this profile view, which was later used on the Lincoln-head
penny. Another view taken by Brady’s cameraman,
Anthony Berger, became the model for the five dollar
bill. |
