    The man knew how to relax for a long portrait. He looks like a gent out for dinner, not the President during The Civil War.

    @LotusMonger: i believe his legs were bent at that reclining angle because they were too long to sit comfortably in the chair otherwise.

    Perhaps one month before were Gettysburg and Vicksburg won :) Great set! When I see a Lincoln portrait I always rember the phrase "nothing touches the tired spot" This is one man that gave MUCH for the common good.

    This is my half-third cousin. We both shared the same Mordecai Lincoln. It was his 3rd great grandfather and my 5th great grandfather.
