Nice picture.... Lincoln being a tall man, must have been quite imposing with that top hat....
Cheers, RickO
Yes @ricko, the hat just increases his height advantage

This is the oldest known photograph of Abraham Lincoln, taken in 1846 by Nicholas H. Shepherd in Springfield, Illinois when the future president was in his late 30s—and clean-shaven.

Great pictures... When I was a kid, I had a hardcover book (forget where I got it) that had a grey scale picture of Lincoln adhered to the front cover...Kept it for years, then eventually, when my Mom moved, it disappeared. Cheers, RickO
Nice !!!

Yep. I started with Lincoln Cents in February 1961.
Note that he is slouching in order to rest his hand on the chair. (A scenario familiar to us tall people)
