Abraham Lincoln - 1860 - Springfield




40. The second Whipple photograph taken during the summer of 1860. Here Tad can be better seen, as he climbs the post. The blurry little boy standing on the sidewalk is Isaac Diller, a friend of the Lincoln boys.

39. The first of two photographs (see #40) taken by John Adams Whipple of Lincoln’s home in Springfield, IL during the summer of 1860. Lincoln stands on the porch behind the railing with his son Willie. His younger son, Tad, who has seven at the time, can barely be seen peeking out behind the post at Willie’s left.
