Introduction

When he took this picture on the day of Lincoln’s Cooper Union speech, Mathew Brady probably knew who the tall, ungainly politician was, but he could hardly have anticipated on February 27, 1860 the importance that the picture he was taking would assume, much less that this same Illinois politician would soon prove the most important subject he would ever have.

Daniel J. Pound, engraver, after photograph by Matthew Brady, Abraham Lincoln
England, ca. 1860
1954.1564
