Some books have misinformation on the photo, saying it was taken on Monday, April 10, 1865. According to Lincoln's secretaries, John Hay and John Nicolay, the actual last photographs were taken on the White House's south portico by photographer Henry F. Warren of Waltham, Massachusetts. The date was March 6, 1865. This information is stated in their Complete Works of Abraham Lincoln which was published in 1894.

LAST IMAGE OF LINCOLN IN LIFE

Thank you, Roger, for those corrections of historical fact.

Would it be possible for you to post the Gardner image taken on Sunday, February 5, 1865? It would be nice to have on this thread for everyone to see.

Excellent statement.
