Abraham Lincoln in Photographs

Every month our curators spotlight an item from our collections in our Pic of the Month feature.

This month, in honor of Abraham Lincoln’s 200th birthday, curator Cynthia Read Miller looks at images from The Henry Ford’s wonderful, eclectic collection of Lincoln-related photographs. These images span the years from Lincoln’s career as an Illinois legislator during the 1840s to his tragic death in 1865.  Visit November’s Pic of the Month.
