ABRAHAM LINCOLN SITS FOR A SPIRITPICTURE.»*From the Boston Herald.We have received from W. H. Mumler, spiritual photographer'’ of this city, a cartr de visite likeness which is quite accurately described in the letter accompanying the photograph, from which we make the following extract:You will see that the “ghost like image’* standing behind the lady sitter has both arms in front, one arm being caressingly around the neck, in a perfectly easy and natural manner. To the right is another “ghost-like image*’ of a boy, while in the rear is yet another undeveloped form. The lady sitter called on the artist for the purpose of having this picture taken some two weeks since, closely veiled, so much so that it was impossible to tell if she was black or white. The veil was not removed until the plate was prepared, and not then until the artist asked if she intended to have her picture taken w ith her veil dow n. She excused herself, removed the veil, and the picture was taken with the result before you. The lady gave the name us Mrs. Tyndall, which was recorded on the engagement book. Subsequent events have proved the lady to be Mtb. Lincoln, w idow of our lamented President. Who the “ghost like image’’ looks like I leave von to judge and draw your own inferences. Suffice it to say the lady fully recognized the picture.Most respectfully,W. 11. Mi mi.ek.The resemblance of the principal shadowyimage upon the plate to the martyr President isurimibtakeH.hlf.
