DESCRIPTION: This handsome portrait of Lincoln began life in 1859 as a portrait of John C. Fremont, the first Republican presidential candidate. The publisher than altered the plate, burnishing out Fremont's head, changing it to a beardless Abraham Lincoln. He again altered it (c.1864) by adding his well-known beard.
