  You can see the yrs wearing on him here from the previous picture.

• Tonya Faye said:

  Whoa...he looks so strange in this one!

• Lean Mice said:

  Mr. Lincoln kind of looks like my uncle Gary in this photo... I'll have to find a shot of my uncle...

• Boats-n-Cars said:

  Can anyone explain the one-sided collar and the way the tie ends on his right?

• pix luvr said:

  Boats-n-cars... it looks like the collar is all there... but a stain on the photograph is clearly more noticable, therefore creating an illusion of a one-sided collar and blunt ending of the tie. The stain extends into the jaw & lower cheek area also. oops.

Sir James Young Simpson, 1811 - 1870. Discoverer of chloroform

  I didn´t know this information. Thank you very much!!

• Comfortable Thought said:

  Simpson was the first person to use cholorform as an aneasthetic, but the substance was discovered by Samuel Guthrie, and David Waldie suggested its use to Simpson. See, for example, www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/119781904/abstract svmsl.chem.cmu.edu/vmsl/genanes/ga_bg3.htm books.google.co.uk/books?id=mYQxRY9umjcC&pg=PA82&... bmb.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/citation/4/2/142-a

  Wow, I have never seen this one and I have seen a LOT of Lincoln images.

• k p said:

  very cool....and again, so young looking. but i guess being president, war and the enormous amounts of stress he was obviously under will age you.

• amsd2dth said:

  The facial expression is interesting... and he reminds me of Kramer in that photo (as in, Seinfeld).

• Lú_ said:

  I collected campaign buttons as a child; my requirement was that I usually received them from the candidate or at a campaign event. (I probably still have them somewhere.) I'd not seen them before from this early, though, and would be interested if anyone knows more about the provision (where they given away, free? what did they cost the campaign to make?) and use (this looks like it might have been worn on a chain?) of campaign buttons at the time. (edit: almost none of mine, most from the 1970s, had photographs on them)

• Bored Representative said:

  I've seen hundreds of Lincoln photos, being a Civil War buff, but I've never seen this shot. Thanks for posting it.
