Stereoview of Abraham Lincoln, known as Lincoln with a crew cut, long attributed to Mathew Brady, but actually taken by Lewis Emory Walker, a government photographer, about February 1865, and published for him by E. & H.T. Anthony (O-104A and B). The short haircut was perhaps suggested by Lincoln's barber to facilitate the taking of his life mask by Clark Mills. Lincoln knew from experience how long hair could cling to plaster. Cowens sold one in December 2011 for $5,581.25
