Laurie, that seems to be a some what touched up drawing of a photograph.

According to "Lincoln" A Picture Story Of His Life by Stefan Lorant, page 391, photo #44,
"For Mrs. Lucy G. Speed from whose pious hand I accepted the present of an Oxford Bible twenty years ago."
Mrs. Speed was the mother of Joshua and James Speed, Lincoln's lifelong friend, at whose home he was always welcome.

In "Lincoln An Illustrated Biography" by Philip Kunhardt, page 160, he attributes the photo to Brady' Gallery and taken in April of 1861.

Wikipedia has a decent site of Lincoln photographs. Scroll down the date column to March 1, 1861 and there it is.

If you click on the image, you can get an enlarged view of the photo.

So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in?
