Abraham Lincoln and religion. Mary Todd Lincoln
A 1895 pamphlet from the Lincoln Financial Foundation Collection on Abraham Lincoln's religious views and Mary Todd Lincoln's interest in spiritualism, written for readers of Lincoln history. The four pictures are photographic portraits of a standing man in a dark suit beside a carved table, a close head-and-shoulders study of a bearded man in a high collar, and two studies of Mary Todd Lincoln in a dark bonnet and shawl, rendered in grainy halftone with soft, low-contrast tones a designer could borrow for period-style portraiture.
