Reason
Cameron was Secretary of War under President
Abraham Lincoln, and U.S. senator from
Pennsylvania. The restoration has some scratches removed. It's a nice quality image for FP, I think.
Comment This photograph was taken by Mathew Brady. It's one of a series of photos of Cameron by Brady in the Library of Congress and the National Archive, all obviously taken at the same sitting. Here are some others:
File:Hon. Simon Cameron, Pa - NARA - 528098.jpg,
File:Hon. Simon Cameron, Pa - NARA - 529942.jpg. And
here's another version of the nominated image, apparently from the same negative (or a nearly identical one), which came to the LOC as part of the Brady-Handy collection. So I don't think it's accurate to say that the creator is "not known to the Library of Congress".
