| Description |
English: On July 3, 1905, R.M. Cole wrote to Judge McCulloch, on of the founders of the Illinois Historical Library: "...the Photo you have of Abraham Lincoln is a copy of a Daguerreotype, that I made in my gallery in this city [Peoria] during the Lincoln and Douglas campaign. I invited him to my gallery to give me a sitting...and when I had my plate ready, he said to me, 'I cannot see why all you artists want a likeness of me unless it is because I am the homeliest man in the State of Illinois.'" Lincoln liked the image and often signed photographic prints for admirers. In fact, in 1861, he even gave a copy to his stepmother. |
