The Wonderful: Deep-pocketed collectors of Americana and fans of the Great Emancipator, rejoice. A seller on eBay is auctioning off what he claims to be the earliest known picture ever taken of Abraham Lincoln, a daguerreotype taken in September 1841. Full background on the piece is available at
www.lincolnportrait.com. The seller is also throwing in full copyrights to the photo. Why, you ask? Well, when you're buying something for 14 million dollars, you kinda want to make sure yours is the only one. Bruton Smith, are you listening?
