For this memorial photographic print, Magnus reproduced a somewhat mysterious early presidential portrait of Lincoln dating from circa March-June 1861. The photographer may have been W.L. Germon; the most famous example was inscribed to Lucy Speed, mother of the president's close friend Joshua Fry Speed. Ostendorf O-55, pages 88-89.
