A friend of mine has a photograph (silvertype print?) of Abraham
Lincoln. It says that is published by C. H. Masters from a July 4,
1856 original by W.H. Masters. The studio was located in Princeton,
Illinois. Can anyone tell me anything about this? I cannot find any
information with Google searches.

Thank You,
Turnus

Probably fake. Check this url. If not there, probably not real.

Thank you for the link. I did not find it there. It is similar to the
one by Alexander Hesler, but Lincoln is facing the other direction and
there are a number of subtle differences.

Thanks Again,
Turnus
