Visa vie my earlier post, I thought it would be interesting to post three 1860s period Abe Lincoln albumen photos. These were made for sale and are by prominent studios.
#1) Mathew Brady cabinet with sharp and clear image (though with some aging/foxing)
#2) Oversized albumen with second generation/worn image and some artistic manipulation. By Henry F. Warren, well known to baseball photo collectors Of historical footnote, this is the last image of Lincoln.
#3) And an albumen CDV that reproduces artwork, probably an engraving. It's actually a photograph of the art.
