This is a lovely 1866 portrait of Lincoln and his family. From a painting by S. B. Waugh, the portrait features Abraham Lincoln and his wife Mary Todd with their two surviving sons Robert and Tad. A portrait of the third son, who died in 1862, is seen hanging on the wall behind. This print, a proof before letters, was engraved by William Sartain and published by Bradley & Co.
