Library of Congress says: Abraham Lincoln, U.S. President, looking at a photo album with his son, Tad Lincoln, Feb. 9, 1864. [“Lincoln and Tad study a Brady album in this photograph by Anthony Berger, Brady’s gallery, Washington, D.C., Tuesday, February 9, 1864. One of the most popular Lincoln portraits, this is the only close-up of him wearing spectacles. It was issued in huge quantities in many variations, with and without Brady’s permission.” “The retouched scene changed the album into a family Bible.” (Source: Ostendorf, p. 183-4)]
