This is my half-third cousin. We both shared the same Mordecai Lincoln. It was his 3rd great grandfather and my 5th great grandfather.

Although this photograph was taken in Mathew Brady's studio, the photographer was not Brady himself, but Anthony Berger. It was taken on February 9, 1864.

www.abrahamlincolnonline.org/lincoln/resource/masks.htm "Lincoln had two life masks done, five years apart. The first was by Leonard Volk in Chicago, Illinois, in April 1860. Clark Mills completed the second in February 1865 in Washington, D.C." This would be the 1865 mask, with beard.

digital.library.cornell.edu/cgi/t/text/pageviewer-idx?c=c... is an article from Century Magazine (1881) that describes the making of this life mask - which is held by the Library of Congress, by the way. memory.loc.gov/ammem/collections/stern-lincoln/object-rot... is a presentation of the mask that allows you to view it from different angles.

Very interesting.. I just skimmed the article, but it seems to be about the 1860 mask, not this one. I suppose there are other copies of the mask as the LOC's is metal and this one seems to be plaster.

The Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery appears to have plaster copies of both masks. See www.npg.si.edu/exh/travpres/lincs.htm. They have also done laser scans to produce 3D models, although I haven't been able to use the models on the old laptop I am using at the moment. See 3d.si.edu/browser and 3d.si.edu/downloads/27
