Lincoln Photographs Views
This Photo Archive is presented as a public service by the Abraham Lincoln Art Gallery, and provides a free download of thirty five of the most famous Abraham Lincoln Photographs from the Library of Congress of both the Lawyer and President. With the exception of the two color photographs, numbers 10 and 12, there are no copyright restrictions and the photos may be downloaded and used for any purpose. The JPEG format for each photo is presented with a pixel measurement of 576 by 720. Using a print density of 72 dpi (dots per inch), the file size of 48 KB will yield an 8 by 10 inch photograph. Download time over a standard modem will be approximately 30 seconds. The photographs are grouped into six pages with six thumbnail photographs on each page. By simply clicking each thumbnail picture, the large 8x10 photograph can be displayed and saved or printed.
Many of the photographs involve full body portraits of Abraham Lincoln. Close up cropped images of his face from these full portraits are also presented as separate photographs and were created by scanning the cropped portion separately to ensure higher detail. The two colored photos were created for public use by artist James Nance.
ONLY ORIGINAL METHODS have been used in this productiondmdash;the very same methods that Gardner himself would have used in making such photographs. It is exactly these methods that bring us the evocative nature of a 19th century photograph. The size has an unbelievable impact, bringing Lincoln hld"to lifefrd"--warts, war-weary wrinkles, pores, and all! This cannot be a more engaging photo!
