Abraham Lincoln Photograph
Although there is some question to the identity of the photographer, along with several cities in Illinois, Ohio, and Missouri that have been suggested as the site where the image was taken. It is most likely taken in 1857, or 1858 by Roderick M. Cole, a daguerreotypist and photographer who operated a studio in Peoria, Illinois in 1857.
It is said to be Lincoln’s favorite up until that time. If you asked for an autographed photo, this is what he would send.
