2 1/8 x 3 3/8 in. CDV on cardstock mount (minor spotting, light soiling; mount corners clipped).
The famous profile of Abraham Lincoln, taken by Anthony Berger, manager of Brady's Gallery, Washington, DC, 9 February 1864 (O-88). This was one of seven poses taken by Berger on 9 February, and Lincoln purportedly walked more than a mile for this sitting. The artist Victor D. Brenner used this profile, along with another, to model the Lincoln-head cent.
