Lincoln's Dog Fido

[Eva Elisabeth]

In "Father Abraham and his Sons", Harold Holzer, too, writes the photos were taken before the departure to be taken to Washington.
In "The Lincoln Family Album", there's (I think) a CDV with the photo of Gene's avatar, and the text reads: "This carte by F. G. Ingmire, labeled 'President Lincoln's Dog', is likely one of the many comercially reproduced copies published after the assassination sparked demand for souvenirs." Most likely this is the reason that some pictures (copies of the 1861 originals) are dated 1865.
