Lot Description
[LINCOLN, Abraham (1809-1865)]. CDV portrait of Lincoln. Ca 1865.

CDV on cardstock mount. Uncredited, with 2-cent US Internal Revenue stamp on verso. Lincoln is shown wearing a round-tipped collar, which is one way this portrait differs from any other. Catalogued in Hamilton and Ostendorf as [O-55] or variant. 

This image is called a "mystery portrait" in Hamilton and Ostendorf's Lincoln in Photographs, as it is unclear exactly who captured the portrait. There are other copies bearing imprints of Germon, McClees, and Fredricks. 
This lot is located in Cincinnati.
