Abraham Lincoln. “Cracked Plate” Photograph of Lincoln.
Abraham Lincoln. “Cracked Plate” Photograph of Lincoln. This photograph by Alexander Gardner is one of the most haunting portraits of any president. Created on February 5, 1865, it was the last formal portrait of Lincoln to be taken before his assassination in April 1865. When the mammoth glass negative cracked, Gardner made only one print from the damaged negative before discarding it. NOTE: The crack has been cloned of course
