Large 1863 profile photograph of President Abraham Lincoln and taken in the studio of photographer Matthew Brady. This is the most iconic image of Lincoln and one of the most iconic images in American history as it has been viewed billions upon billions of times as the image used on the American penny! This is a highly silvered and vintage cabinet mounted photograph from the collection of early archivist Frederick Meserve who owned the original Brady negative and presumably made this from it around the 1890's to early 1900's, An incredibly important piece of American history that is being offered here for the first time ever, the condition is perfect with note to editorial enhancements for publication (paint) on the front.
