Following line has a pic of a portrait/painting of Pres. Buchanan, 15th President, done when he was president 1857-1861, wearing the same style of clothing. The Hallett Brothers were photographers in NY in the 1860s. They took pics of Civil War officers, etc.</p><p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Buchanan" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Buchanan" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Buchanan</a></p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
