Roger, I just purchased, at the astounding price of $ 7.00, the book "Lincoln HIS LIFE IN PHOTOGRAPHS" by Stefan Lorant.
Lorant was a Hungarian immigrant who had been in the United States for less than a year when he published this book. He began research when his son asked who this Lincoln person was.

In this book, the last Gardner images are dated April 9, 1865. He also includes the photo of Lincoln and Tad where Tad is leaning on the small table as taken on the same date. Weren't these photos later proved to have been taken in February not April? Conclusively? I want to know if the Tad photo was days or months before he lost his father.
