I recently purchased an oddity. I acquired a glass negative of Mary Todd Lincoln. (Photos included).
I took a photo of the negative and created a positive, also included.
What I'm trying to find out is....
Is this an original or more than likely, a copy. It is cdv size roughly. I just don't know enough about photography from this time period to make an educated evaluation.
On a side note.... I did some research and found similar poses, (on the web), but I was unable to find this pose anywhere.
Any help or info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks to all.
