Alexander Gardner (October 17, 1821 - December 10, 1882) was a Scottish photographer who is best known for his photographs of the American Civil War. He emigrated to the United States in 1856 and worked as a photographer in Mathew Brady's studio. Gardner was sent to document the American Civil War and produced some of the most iconic images of the conflict, including photographs of the battlefields at Antietam and Gettysburg. After the war, Gardner photographed President Lincoln and the American West, including images of Native Americans, settlers, and the construction of the transcontinental railroad.

Abraham Lincoln (12. Februar 1809 - 15. April 1865) war ein amerikanischer Politiker und Rechtsanwalt, der von März 1861 bis zu seiner Ermordung im April 1865 das Amt des 16. Präsidenten der Vereinigten Staaten innehatte. Lincoln führte die Vereinigten Staaten durch ihren Bürgerkrieg - ihren blutigsten Krieg und ihre größte moralische, verfassungsmäßige und politische Krise. Er bewahrte die Union, schaffte die Sklaverei ab, stärkte die Bundesregierung und modernisierte die Wirtschaft. "Ich vernichte meine Feinde, wenn ich sie zu meinen Freunden mache".

Since his death in 1865, Abraham Lincoln has been an iconic American figure depicted in a wide range of media forms including printed materials, sculpture, alternative timelines, animation, documentaries, small cameos, and many fictionalized interpretations. Lincoln's unique physical appearance, including his tall and lanky stature and his distinctive beard, made him a popular subject for portrait artists. Over time, the abundance of portraits of Lincoln has contributed to his iconic status and has helped to ensure that his memory and legacy are preserved.
