Seven score and 11 years ago, President Abraham Lincoln stood on a makeshift platform in a new cemetery on the battlefield of Gettysburg and gave a 272-word address that has come to be known as one of the most influential speeches in American history. There were very few pictures taken during the day, but the US National Archives has one of the only known photos of the President that day. It was discovered by Josephine Cobb, the chief of the Still Photo section at the National Archives, in 1952. Learn more about the discovery at blogs.archives.gov/prologue/?p=2564
