15 5/8 x 12 7/8 in. albumen photograph on 17 3/8 x 15 1/4 in. cardstock mount. With inked title on lower margin of mount, and the vexing blind stamp for "Taber, Photographer, San Francisco" at extreme lower margin of mount of right. The negative was almost certainly taken by Samuel M. Fassett of Chicago who produced a number of images of the Chicago and Springfield Funeral, and this is clearly a direct positive from that negative.

The Committee, which accompanied Lincoln's body from Washington on its multi-city tour, stands in front of the dead president's crepe draped home. Images of the Springfield funeral are uncommon, and this one especially so. We could find but a single holding of this photograph at the Wisconsin Historical Society.
