[LINCOLN, Abraham (1809-1865)]. Hand-tinted tintype of Abraham Lincoln after photograph originally taken by Anthony BERGER.

1 3/8 x 2 in. tintype (sight), housed in 2 3/8 x 4 in. paper mount (minor horizontal crease to plate, small surface abrasion near top edge; light soiling to mount). Catalogued by Lincoln collector Lloyd Ostendorf as a variant of sitting O-92.

The tintype is an adaptation of the photograph originally taken by Anthony Berger at Brady's Gallery in Washington, DC, 9 February 1864, subsequently known as the five dollar bill portrait.
