557 Photography: Fort Abraham Lincoln Rare silver print Photograph by DF Barry, a 7” x 10” silver print<br />

image of Ft Abraham Lincoln, Dakota Territory, a fantastic bird’s-eye view of the sprawling fort where<br />

George A Custer and his doomed 7th Cavalry had its headquarters. With original mount, overall size 9.3”<br />

x 12.8”. Inscribed in blind stamp on image surface and on mount, with Barry’s label and pencil identification<br />

on verso. The only known image showing the entire fort in wintertime. Staple holes toward<br />

edges of mount, tiny photographer’s ink spots, but VG and quite clean and sharp. Eventually abandoned,<br />

the entire complex would be used by settlers as a source of building materials, and then souvenir<br />

hunters took what remained. However, much of it has been rebuilt as a historical and recreational site.<br />
