I observed that Mr. Lincoln was among them; and as I looked in his direction, he arose from his seat, and came forward and gave me a cordial hand-shake, accompanying the action with words of congratulation on my election. I mention this fact because the deport of Mr. Lincoln was so in contrast with that of the other members of the bar that it touched me deeply, and made me, ever later on, his steadfast friend." —C. F. Gunther of Chicago, circa 1896 Letter[20] One morning I was in the gallery of Mr. Alschuler, when Mr. Lincoln came into the room and said he had been informed that he (Alschuler) wished him to sit for a pic. Alschuler said he had sent such a message to Mr. Lincoln, just he could non take the picture in that coat (referring to a linen squeegee in which Mr. Lincoln was clad), and asked if he had not a dark coat in which he could sit. Mr. Lincoln said he had not; that this was the only glaze he had brought with him from his home. Alschuler said he could clothing his coat, and gave it to Mr. Lincoln, who pulled off the duster and put on the artist's coat. Alschuler was a very short man, with short artillery, but with a torso nearly as large as the torso of Mr. Lincoln. The arms of the latter extended through the sleeves of the glaze of Alschuler a quarter of a 1000, making him quite ludicrous, at which he (Lincoln) laughed immoderately, and sat down for the motion picture to exist taken with an effort at being sober enough for the occasion.

He was shown to a glass, where he was told to 'fix up,' but declined, saying it would not be much of a likeness if he fixed upwards any.
