There are less than 30 known photographs of Mary Todd Lincoln. There is no 
known photograph of Abraham and Mary Lincoln together. Here is the 
definitive study of the photographs of Mrs. Lincoln. Quite scarce in 
hardcover:

(No. 8928 )  Ostendorf, Lloyd. THE PHOTOGRAPHS OF MARY TODD LINCOLN.
(Springfield): (Illinois State Historical Society), (1969). Full cloth, 
Octavo, [ii], 64 pages, Black & White photographs. Very Good.
      Catalogue of the 26 known photographic likenesses of Mrs. Lincoln, 
including 4 which were heretofore virtually unknown and published here for 
the first time. Ostendorf here follows the same pattern he and Charles 
Hamilton used in their definitive work on the photographs of Abraham 
Lincoln. Each image herein is accompanied by the relevant information known 
about it, and is given a unique number. Bound in pictorial printed cloth 
over boards. Light rubs at corner tips and at upper joint near head of 
spine. A few scattered spots of foxing to textblock edges, light soil to
