The answer is the carte de visite (cdv) pictured here. It is backmarked for Ashford, Brothers &#38; Co., of 76 Newgate Street, London, and was probably created in 1863 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Part of the power of Steven Spielberg’s film Lincoln comes from screenwriter Tony Kushner’s skill at navigating the line between history and fiction.  He followed the example of James Agee, the novelist and film critic who wrote five half-hour teleplays on Lincoln for the CBS program “Omnibus” in 1952-1953.  Agee laid down the principle of [...]]]></description>
