Summary
"Lincoln liked this photograph, taken with a multiple-lens camera by Mathew B. Brady, Washington, D.C., Friday, January 8, 1864. He said of it: 'I don't know that I have any favorite portrait of myself; but I have thought that if I looked like any of the likenesses of me that have been taken, I look most like that one.'"
