Annotated on the reverse in ink, "Washington D.C., Aug. 4, 1876." A pencil notation on the mount attributes the photograph to Mathew Brady. In very good to fine condition, with scattered light foxing, staining along the right edge of the image, and short tears to the top and bottom edges of the mount. An unusually large signed photograph of the Civil War hero.
Provenance: by descent to the consignor, who notes that the photograph was once part of the collection of Winfred Porter Truesdell, collector, publisher, and cataloger of the known engravings and lithographs of Abraham Lincoln.
