Lincoln's Revelance Questioned by National Park Service

[Joe Di Cola]

The "cracked plate" image mentioned in a recent post was taken at the Alexander Gardner Gallery on February 5, 1865 and not April 10 and, in the past, was often mistakenly identified as the last photo of Lincoln. A photo taken of Lincoln, by Henry F. Warren on March 6, on the White House balcony is now thought to be the last photo taken of Lincoln alive.
