The word "paparazzi" has been around only since 1960, when a news photographer named Paparazzo in the Italian film La Dolce Vita joined the cultural lexicon. But that doesn't mean the paparazzi didn't exist before 1960. In fact, at least one was around in 1865 — to snap this photo of President Abraham Lincoln, which is suspected to be the last picture of the 16th president, and one of only about 130 known photos of him.

Just 2.5 x 3.5 inches, the photo belongs to a collector who believes it belonged to a private photo album belonging to Civil War Gen. Ulysses S. Grant. It shows Lincoln in front of the White House, confirmed by the handwritten note on the back of the photo: "Lincoln in front of the White House."

Says photo collector and Lincoln buff Keya Morgan, who helped identify the tiny man as Lincoln (even at 6'4", he's just a wee one in the pic): "This is the first act of paparazzi ever toward a president. Lincoln is not too happy at all."

Also included was the date 1865, the seal of photographer Henry F. Warren, and a government tax stamp that was issued for such photos to help the Civil War effort between 1864 and 1866.

Morgan recalled the well-documented story of Warren's trip to Washington to photograph Lincoln after his second inauguration in March 1865. Lincoln was killed in April, so the photo could be the last one taken of him.

Warren, a commercial photographer from Massachusetts, enticed Lincoln into his frame shortly after the inauguration by taking pictures of young Tad Lincoln and asking the boy to bring his father along for a pose, according to the book, "Lincoln in Photographs: An Album of Every Known Pose," by Charles Hamilton and Lloyd Ostendorf.
