This is a nice documented from life view of Mrs. Abraham Lincoln.
She is posed in her mourning attire that was worn when her son Willie died.
The photograph dates from 1862 and reflects the mourning period after her sons death in FEB 1862.
The back has period pencil and ink identification-- the date most likely represents the date that the Civil War era owner acquired the image.
Thanks rose-- appreciate you looking!

Thanks for looking tassie and cultcha.

What great additions to your collection Scott.
I can't imagine these are available often!
Thanks racer. Lithographic carte de visite views of President Lincoln and Mary Todd are actually fairly plentiful in the market and don't bring a great deal of money.
From life cdvs are a completely different story when it comes to availability and collector value.
