Contemporary [[albumen print]] from one frame of the lost original multiple-image stereographic negative, made by Jeremiah [[Gurney]] Jr., on April 24, 1865, and destroyed shortly thereafter.
Per Hamilton '63 [p 392] / Ostendorf '98 [p 414] Gurney took two photographs of Lincoln's body. The other has not been seen, presumably destroyed by Secretary of War Edwin Stanton.
