Last known picture of Abraham Lincoln

[RJNorton]

I have seen more than one date/description for the "Tad on horseback" photo, Kees. According to the Lincoln Family Album Tad gave the photo to Robert Lincoln several years later and wrote on the back: "Presented to Robert T. Lincoln by his affectionate brother-Thomas Lincoln. A carte-de-viste of himself and new South American pony, as taken, Nov 16th 1863. Washington, D.C.'

Yet the same photo is on p. 77 of Twenty Days with the inscription, "Sitting on the captured beautiful little pacer, Little Jeff, Tad is shown here at City Point visiting Grant's army with his father just before the surrender."

To me the photo looks like the background is the troop encampment/south wall of the White House grounds.

Kees, if you go to the White House History link that Laurie posted there are a few photos of the south portico.
