Carte-de-visite of Abraham Lincoln taken by Mathew Brady in his New York studio Feb. 27, 1860, just seven months after Lincoln visited Dubuque in July 1859. Lincoln was in New York giving his famed Cooper Union address. Lincoln claimed his Cooper Union address and this image by Brady got him elected President of the United States.
