Nach einer Photographie v. Brady |
| Description |
Beardless engraving of Abraham Lincoln engraved in Germany after Cooper Institute photograph by Matthew Brady. German on the left side of the front reads "Nach einer Photographie v. Brady." This engraving, while it is marked "After a Photograph by Brady" reverses the position of the President and parts his hair on the right instead of the left side. A very poor resemblance. From the Robert L. Hunker collection. |
