ca. 1860s, [tintype of an anti-Lincoln propaganda doll]
“A political tintype which makes a strong anti-Lincoln commentary on the issue of slavery. We see a very rare example of a white doll with a black Lincoln doll pinned to her dress. We have to believe this was a Southern photographer making a statement although it could also be a Southern sympathizer from the North. The proportions of the white doll are also a curiosity as it is extremely long in length and maybe a reference to Lincoln’s long lanky build.”
