While Lincoln's speech was short and may have precluded multiple pictures of him while speaking, he and the other dignitaries sat for hours during the rest of the program. A popular explanation for the Bachrach photo suggests that Lincoln's brief address, which followed a lengthy two hour speech by Everett, caught photographers by surprise. As a result, they supposedly were able to only take a photo of Lincoln after his speech had ended. This theory, however, has been questioned, since evidence exists suggesting that the photo was possibly taken before the Gettysburg Address and without any intention of photographing Lincoln from such a lengthy distance.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Woman Who Found Lincoln at Gettysburg: Josephine Cobb of the National Archives |url=https://www.friendsofthelincolncollection.org/lincoln-lore/the-woman-who-found-lincoln-at-gettysburg-josephine-cobb-of-the-national-archives/ |access-date=2024-06-10 |website=Friends of the Lincoln Collection |language=en}}</ref>
