Summary
Description Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, Gettysburg, highlighted version.png |
English:
Abraham Lincoln
(in the center) at the dedication of the
Soldiers' National Cemetery
in
Gettysburg
, Pennsylvania, on November 19, 1863. Made from the original glass plate negative at the
National Archives
which had lain unidentified for fifty-five years until 1952 when Josephine Cobb recognized Lincoln in the image. To Lincoln's left is bodyguard
Ward Hill Lamon
. To his far left is
Governor Andrew G. Curtin
of Pennsylvania. The photograph is estimated to have been taken at about noontime, just after Lincoln arrived, before
Edward Everett
's arrival and about three hours before Lincoln gave his famous
Gettysburg Address
[1]
. LOC note: Photo is a reprint of a small detail of a photo showing the crowd gathered for the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Penn., where President Abraham Lincoln gave his now famous speech, the Gettysburg Address. Lincoln is visible facing the crowd, not wearing a hat, about an inch below the third flag from the left. Josephine Cobb first found Lincoln's face while working with a glass plate negative at the National Archives in 1952. (Source: NARA, Rare Photo of Lincoln at Gettysburg,
