    This image is amazing. His body language to me is very approachable and open. I love the redesigned hair style, too. It is a fantastic moment in history caught forever. Thank you for allowing us to share this incredible resource.

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

    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.

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

    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)

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

    It looks like he is playing with something in his hands. I wonder what that was? A watch perhaps. A coin. Interesting.
  • *Milou* said:
    On closer inspection, I see a watch chain over his thumb -- must be his watch.
  • random letters said:
    I really like this one. We've all seen so many photos of Lincoln with the same serious face, where here he's almost smiling and he's definitely fiddling with a watch or something. Makes him seem more like a real person.
  • James Jordan said:
    A much earlier photo also shows his left hand blurry. He would have sat for enough long exposure photos to know he shouldn't fiddle with his hands while posing. I think he couldn't completely control his left hand for some reason.
  • Nancy Liu said:
    A President of a country usually is not a professional on modeling, and usually the gesture a person posed reflects his personality and style. From this image, Lincoln, a man focus on his work, looks relax even though in a tiresome smile. It must be very tough to be a President during Civil War, and to be a White male to conduct slavery abolishment that means he was working under life threaten condition when he needs to faces the crowd on this issue. The passion and tension over so many public issues. Is it good to be a leader?
