Carte de visite format printed portrait of Abraham Lincoln, produced after a well-known Civil War era photographic likeness, likely dating to the late 1860s or 1870s. The image is not a direct photograph from life but a printed reproduction, rendered in a soft vignette against a plain ground, consistent with post-war memorial and popular portrait formats.

Lincoln is shown in three-quarter view with his characteristic beard and deeply set features, wearing a dark coat, white shirt, and bow tie. The image lacks the tonal depth and surface characteristics of a true albumen photograph, instead presenting as a printed interpretation of an earlier studio portrait. The edges of the vignette and overall flatness of tone support its identification as a later printed issue rather than an original sitting.

No photographer’s imprint is visible. The image derives from widely circulated Brady studio portraits of Lincoln, which were reproduced extensively in CDV format following his assassination. This example reflects that period of mass-produced commemorative imagery rather than a contemporary photographic print.
