    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.

    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?
