It's just that the information that was left out made it appear that I was in complete agreement with you as far as the importance of provenance as it relates to photographs. I AM in complete agreement with you on the other items you laid out (historical artifacts, art, etc.) but not with a photograph. I just feel that the sole criteria for authentication should be the visual evidence available. Only if one were to factor in the monetary value of a particular photograph would provenance then become relevant. Just my thoughts on it. I don't expect anyone else on here to agree with me. Thanks again.

Laurie ... the owner of the dag was the first to recognize the image as that of Abraham and Mary Lincoln.

And would that be "Donna" of previous postings? Did she inherit from that family; purchase it from that family; or find it in an auction, flea market, or yard sale? What research did the current owner do before determining that it was of the Lincolns? Has the owner received any positive confirmations that it is indeed the couple? My guess would be no or we would see dollar signs attached to it. BTW - are there dollar signs indicating that it is for sale?
