Wikipedia says: July 18, 1858. Preston Butler. Springfield, Illinois. Gelatin silver print of a lost carbon enlargement of the lost ambrotype. This image was presumably taken by Preston Butler the day after Lincoln delivered a speech in Springfield in which Lincoln urges that slavery be placed on the course of “ultimate extinction.” He attacks Stephen Douglas and defends himself by stating that he supports the principles of equality put forth in the Declaration of Independence. This speech preceded his debates with Douglas.
