Looks really good. Not a very large image but meets the requirements. Fletcher (talk) 01:03, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I rather suspect this isn't a photograph as suggested in the 'nom'. Probably an engraving, and given that, size would probably be called into question. Also if the people illustrated were identified it would significantly up the EV (there were some pretty well known people attending Lincoln's deathbed, even if only through their involvement in the event, and they should probably be identified). I also slightly wonder about the absence of Mary Todd Lincoln; can't quite remember the story there, but obviously she was round-abouts. --jjron (talk) 14:35, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I do have the list of people around the death bed. And The site that had the photo said it was a photograph, but you are that this is most likely an engraving. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 09:58, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think this would struggle unless you can find a higher-quality version. This has too many jpeg artifacts and way too much moiré patterning to be technically up to the FP standard for engravings. Thegreenj 20:28, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is a page from Harpers Weekly, it is the May 6, 1865 edition and what i have read about says a wood engraving. I have a close friend who has this actual page Mounted in his home.
