And, Osborn Oldroyd would be very upset to read that the Lincoln collecting craze did not begin until Frederick Hill Meserve came along...

BTW: Did you or Donna once post on other forums using the pseudonym of "Joseph Mason?" To date, your three names are the only ones that I have seen supporting your claims about the daguerreotype.

Laurie, you are most certainly entitled to your thoughts and opinions. I don't feel an apology is warranted in this particular instance, and there will be none forthcoming.

Unless or until someone decides to rewrite history, Frederick Hill Meserve is to the Lincoln photographic record as Henry Ford was to the automotive industry ....i.e., the top rung on the ladder.

Would you be kind enough to list the "other forums" you mentioned? The answer is no, by the way.
