Lincoln Digital Restoration
This stereoview is a restored image showing Lincoln in January 1864 taken by Matthew Brady.
The Library of Congress image on the left is dark and scratched. Restored, (on right) the image clarity brings out fine details. This photo was taken by Alexander Gardner five days before the Gettysburg Address.
This February 5, 1865 photo by Alexander Gardner is speckled on the Library of Congress. To the right the image is cleaned bringing out detail.
A crack in the glass plate is digitally removed and images flaws are removed in the restoration of this Library of Congress Alexander Gardner image taken February 5, 1865.
The above image on the left is from the Library of Congress collection (3d02064u). Unrestored it is difficult to realize that the image is displayed reversed. Restored and tinted the image becomes a clear Lincoln portrait. While the quality is not the best even after restoration it's importance is unique in that it appears to have never been catalogued by Meserve nor Ostendorf. It's categorized as E-126 from the book "Color of Lincoln".
The Library of Congress notes place the photograph circa 1864 by an unknown photographer. The image comes from a copy of a daguerreotype of a albumen photograph in a plain leather case. The image comes from the Anson Gonger Goodyear collection of Lincoln Images at the Library of Congress which was received as a gift in 1964.
