Biography of abraham lincoln image flip

Abraham Lincoln was the first President to experience the upswing in popularity of photography during the late 1840's through the 1860's. The image was extensively employed on campaign ribbons in the 1860 Presidential campaign, and Lincoln "often signed photographic prints for visitors."

1858 - A Civil War soldier from Parma, Ohio, was the original owner of this portrait, published in the Cleveland Plain Dealer on February 12, 1942, from a print in the Anthony L.

Maresh collection. Mr. Lincoln, upon entering, looked at the camera as though he was unfamiliar with such an instrument, and then remarked: 'Well, do you want to take a shot at me with this thing?' He was shown to a glass, where he was told to 'fix up,' but declined, saying it would not be much of a likeness if he fixed up any. Students can refer back to the text to answer the questions.

The other flip book has lines for students to write their own information about Abe Lincoln.

February 9, 1864 - "The Penny Profile". "He was already a man necessary to know," says Mr.

Schneider. This version includes the same sections, but the pages are left blank so students can write and illustrate on their own. In 1854 Mr. Lincoln was in Chicago, and Isaac N. Arnold invited Mr. Schneider to dine with Mr. Lincoln. Remarkably, it is not known where or by whom this portrait was taken; the few known examples carry imprints of several different photographers: C.D Fredericks & Co.

of New York; W.L. Germon and James E. McLees, both of Philadelphia. He did so in this instance with a multiple lens camera in Brady's Gallery

 

August 9, 1863 - Lincoln's "Photographer's Face". Brady remembered that he drew Lincoln's collar up high to improve his appearance; subsequent versions of this famous portrait also show that artists smoothed Lincoln's hair, smoothed facial lines and straightened his subject's "roving" left eye.
