Double Ulke exposures
I've always heard there was only one photo made of Lincoln's death bed. This thread clearly shows there were at least two photos taken. Scroll down.

Thanks, Joe. I remember buying Twenty Days in the 1960's and seeing the Ulke photo for the first time. I will never forget that memory.

RE: Double Ulke exposures
Thanks Joe, included in this collection is a period photo of the back of Lincoln's home in Springfield. I don't remember seeing that before. (page 9)

We've talked about the wallpaper in the death room before, where Roger posted photo's of the death room. (an interesting thread)

(The chair next to the bed has been moved slightly between photographs)

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

RE: Double Ulke exposures
Hi Joe, I am going from memory here. The second photo was discovered in the not so distant past in the belongings of a relative of Henry Ulke, in Europe (Ireland?). along with some other documentation that gave rise to the theory that Henry, not Julius took the photos.

Thanks, Rich. That's fascinating it was only recently found. I've never heard that and am surprised it didn't make a bigger ripple in the news.

I remember seeing wallpaper from the bedroom up for auction on E-bay. Apparently there is a lot of this stuff floating around. here are two pics.
