Eddy Lincoln photo
Other than the fact that the side of the daguerreotype case says "Edward Lincoln" written in an unknown hand, can someone explain why this photo is thought to be Eddy Lincoln?

I often seen it labeled as Eddy, but I have yet to find any research or evidence to support the theory.

Years ago we had a long thread on this forum in which this photo was debated. As I recall, the thread went on for 10+ pages. Some folks argued it was little Eddie, and some argued it was not. One day I received a phone call from the owner of the daguerreotype. He asked that I take down the discussion of his property. He gave a few reasons for his request. Rather than fight him, I decided to comply. Thus, Donna, I am sorry, but we cannot discuss this photo on the forum.
