This photograph of Abraham Lincoln was produced by King V. Hostick from an original negative recorded by Alexander Hesler in 1860. Made from negatives discovered in 1952 by collector King V. Hostick who had Springfield photographer Herbert Georg make this 11” x 14” print from the original negative.

They were well received by many, including Lincoln, who said of this three-quarter pose, “That looks better and expresses me better than any I have ever seen; if it pleases the people I am satisfied.”
