"Board with Lincoln Photograph" is a trompe-l'œil still-life painting by American artist John Frederick Peto (1854–1907), known for his skillful execution of illusionistic paintings. Created in the late 19th century, this artwork exemplifies Peto's fascination with the aesthetic of aged and worn objects, as well as his interest in American history and iconography. The painting features a realistic depiction of a wooden board on which a photograph of Abraham Lincoln, alongside other ephemera such as letters, envelopes, and possibly a key or pen, is tacked or affixed, creating a poignant memorial to the assassinated president.

Peto's meticulous attention to texture and detail is evident in the lifelike representation of the materials' surfaces, from the grain of the wood to the paper's creases. The inclusion of Lincoln's image imbues the work with a sense of historical reverence, reflecting the nation's collective memory and the enduring legacy of the 16th president of the United States. "Board with Lincoln Photograph" not only showcases Peto's technical prowess but also offers insight into the cultural and political milieu of post-Civil War America.

As a member of the late 19th-century movement known as the American trompe-l'œil painters, Peto was contemporaneous with other artists such as William Harnett, who similarly engaged in creating compositions that played with the viewers' perceptions of reality. Peto's works, often more personal and reflective in nature, have been re-evaluated by art historians in the 20th century, leading to a renewed appreciation for his contributions to American art.

"Board with Lincoln Photograph" is held in a public or private collection, and it continues to be an important subject of study for scholars interested in American art, the trompe-l'œil tradition, and the cultural history of the United States. The painting is a testament to Peto's artistic legacy and his ability to capture the essence of the American spirit through his evocative and thought-provoking still lifes.
