I don't know what it is or where it is -- but it looks like some sort of "wax works" with a very placid, calm and thin Mary staring into space as if bored to death and supported by another figure who appears to be Edwin Booth.

Lincoln appears to be somewhat as if suffering from the flu or some other ailment.

And who is the lady taking the picture? I didn't know there were such cameras in 1865!

I think she was one of Gardner's assistant's, Bill....a little known lady photographer, "Tammy O'Sullivan".... she was known for experimenting with odd camera devices. I think this was the early forerunner for the Poloroid.
