On February 7, 1850 Lincoln's second son Edward died--after a 52-day illness. Eddie would have been 4 years old March 10th of that year.
A daguerreotype of Eddie has been found that can be seen on the
Internet. Get ready to feel pain when you see it. A week after Eddie's
death a poem entitled "Little Eddie", which may have been written by Abraham or Mary, was published in The Illinois State Journal.
To see the daguerreotype, a photograph of Eddie's gravestone, and read the poem, go to the following remarkable webpage:

Great shot. I can't believe you got a shot
with no one in the shot either. And.. did
you have a tripod? I got in trouble several
times for having a tripod in Washington.
Something with Homeland Security.

I got there pretty early, guards were still
groggy, and walked to the corner, set up
tripod, shot faaassst and split. I'm usually
not so lucky, I got searched and nearly
arrested a few years ago because I used
tripod at the capital, but I sold the shot
back to the govt. ha ha.

Congrats on finding a time when no tourists
were in your way. I just visited Lincoln and
had a hard time taking anything without
anyone there :).

I like the angle you took this one at, better
than any other I've seen of the same subject.
