Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

Excerpt from Historical Portraits and Lincolniana: Index of a Part of the Collection of Americana of Frederick Hill Meserve The size of the portraits in this work is that of the usual photograph of this early period, known as carte-de-visite; and often the whole figure was photo graphed with such clearness on these small glass plates that enlargements have been made from the original negatives eight or ten times greater without loss of detail or perfection.

Excerpt from Frederick Hill Meserve Tribute: Addresses of Frederick Hill Meserve and Carl W. Schaefer on the Occasion of the Presentation of the Photographs of Abraham Lincoln to Lincoln Memorial University, October 4, 1941 Fortunately before it was too late, Frederick Hill Meserve, of New York City, began the task of finding, classifying, and preserv ing these photographs. Perhaps the job is even yet not complete, for there have been found and identified only 118 authentic pictures. Carefully, methodically, and at great time and expense, Dr. Meserve has gathered these negatives and prints. Today he is recognized as the foremost authority on the photographs of Lincoln.

Meserve was born on November 1, 1865, in Boston, Massachusetts. He was the son of William Neal Meserve, a Congregational minister, and of Abigail Burnham Hill. The American Missionary Society sent the family to California, where William Meserve was active in founding several churches between 1868 and 1876. The family then returned to the East for a time and, while his father was pastor of several churches in the Boston area.
Meserve completed his secondary education in the Boston area. He studied medicine for a time in Boston but gave it up to go with his family to Colorado. The vigorous life of an outdoorsman appealed to him, and he spent extensive periods during 1887 and 1888, sometimes alone, atop Pikes Peak as an observer for Harvard University in an experiment to determine an appropriate site for an astronomical observatory. In 1888 Meserve entered the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. While there he was a reporter for the Boston Globe and Herald, writing college news; he also worked part-time for an engineering firm. He left college in 1892, without graduating, to become the western manager for an engineering firm.
In 1893, Meserve moved to New York City to join Deering, Milliken, and Company, a textile commission firm. He remained with the firm for the rest of his life, although at one point he held a seat on the New York Stock Exchange with the brokerage firm of Charles W. Turner (1909 - 1919). Meserve's interest in old photographs began while he was collecting illustrations for a manuscript of his father's Civil War diary. Using income from his business ventures, he became a zealot in collecting photographs and negatives from the period 1850-1900, especially photographs of Lincoln. The collection eventually contained more than 200, 000 pieces. The extensive collection of Lincoln photographs was used by Jules Roiné during his work on the Lincoln Centennial Medal and by Victor Brenner, the designer of the head on the Lincoln penny. In 1911, Meserve had a book entitled Photographs of Abraham Lincoln privately printed. In 1917, four sets of a twenty-eight-volume work, Historical Photographs were produced; two more sets were made in 1944. The six extant sets of this work contain several hundred otherwise unpublished photographs of figures from government, education, and entertainment of the last half of the nineteenth century. Carl Sandburg assisted Meserve in the publication of The Photographs of Abraham Lincoln (1941). Meserve died in New York City.
Through his activity as a collector, Meserve discovered several "lost" photographs of Lincoln and preserved thousands of photographs of public figures that provide a visual record of a segment of American life in the nineteenth century. This collection was generously made available both to professional historians and interested nonspecialists.
