Abraham Lincoln had been elected president in 1860. On a visit to New York to give a speech, he went to the Mathew B. Brady Studio to have his photograph taken. When lithographs based on the studio session were printed in the newspapers, they resonated with readers. This work is thought to be a tintype copy of a lithograph produced in the 1860s.
