Mary Todd Lincoln's Cell

Yes, I believe so.

There are some public insane asylums from this period that photographed their patients, but I just don't see Dr. Patterson, catering to women from the upper classes, doing that. And I don't see Mary, who IIRC was very particular about her photographs in the best of circumstances, tolerating being put before a camera in her unhappy condition.
