A VERY rare item. It is, to my knowledge, the second existing actual photograph of Abe. That could be an error on my part depending on how you define photograph. Any wiser correction is invited.
In any case, a museum quality item after proofing the provenance.

Excuse me, but I am not sure if your post about this auction is serious or if you are being facetious. There are, of course, many existing photographs of Lincoln but this object is certainly not one of them. It is clearly a copper printing block.

This is a classic example of an auction with too many photos. The download time is killing his/her chances of having many more bidders. I lost interest after two minutes and I was interested because of this posting. It would have been much better if some of the photos would have been combined to cut down on the bytes used.
