Was reading through Ronald C. Whites book, Lincoln's Greatest Speech and inside is a photo of a ribbon that was worn at Lincoln's 2nd inauguration. There is a photo on the ribbon and it is the is the Gardner photo. If this ribbon was indeed one of the ones worn at the 2nd inauguration it is another piece of evidence that the April 10, 1865 date for the Gardner photo was erroneous (although I think there was already enough evidence to prove the April date was erroneous). Also another piece of evidence that it was taken prior to March 4, 1865 (inauguration day). That strengthens the February 5, 1865 dating of the Gardner photo and that the Warren photo from March 6, 1865 was the last portrait. I recently have seen that the Gardner photo is now called "the last studio portrait" of Lincoln in certain texts and publications.
