interesting.. i had not seen a photo of him with his hair like that. he looks very different.
bsmif
He looks like he just got his hair blown dry. Cool to see a different view of him. Wish I could see it in 3-D as intended
Eric Schmeric
bsmif: Look at it, then cross your eyes until the two images meet in the middle. You'll see a 3D version of it.
ISO1977
yeah! the 3d effect works! i would love to see all of these at a larger res, to really see details
Rick4Barb
Wow! That actually works!!! -- Seen in your Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) set. (?)

I made an anaglyph out of this image. (red and cyan) www.flickr.com/photos/dubster/3260034814/

Without the beard, it kind of bears a resemblance to late night host Craig Ferguson.

Daniel Day-Lewis to play Lincoln in th upcoming film of his life...

I hoped to make a color 3D picture using red/green glasses, but it didn't look convincing. The colorised left frame looks like this ~

Love the hair! Here's the 1920s KEYSTONE VIEW COMPANY'S real-photo reprint that was made from a copy negative, and included in all of their stereoview HISTORY sets that were sold across the USA to homes and schools. www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/2656718556/

Those are some gigantic ears
kparrish

I am working on an animation. my own tribute to 200.a birthday he shares with Darwin and my daughter. He was truly an epic hero. lincoln's last portrait
NuNu ツ
Yes the hair is nice! and leave the ears alone lol.
Shawn Wolfe
I'm fairly certain he was a werewolf.

Zoolander!

It is not until one sees the figure in three dimensions, that one realizes what a big man he was.

I didn't know there were any stereoscopic views of President Lincoln - for all of our advances in imaging technology, there's nothing quite like stereoscope cards to bring old subjects to life.

punk-rock do! I like it!

If his hair was cut short for his life mask, as mentioned above, he probably kept it longer because it may have been coarse and wiry and he didn't want it to look like this. Hair like this will lay flatter when it is longer. Or it could be that he was trying something different.
Brendan Falkowski
I love the cross-eyed trick.

Here's a quick animated GIF that gives you an idea of the stereoscopic effect. I could fix the blown-out right side and the physical deterioration but wanted to uploaded it and get to bed... (time passes) ...Well, I didn't go to bed after all but instead made a reverse stereographic image that you can see by crossing your eyes. (next morning) Here's a "3D," red-and-blue, anaglyph of the same image.

I remember seing Lincoln's picture 2-axes (4 equal squares) devided and mouse-move-oriented with flash and actionscript. Kind of a "gummy" animation... First time I've seen it I had found it quite unusual and uncommon...
angineer
Wow, the 3D effect is so cool!
Rod Serling Rules
Mr. Lincoln had Marfan Syndrome, as did his descendants, one feature of which is abnormal auricles (external ears). He had many other features of Marfan Syndrome as well. I was fascinated to learn from links on Kottke.org that Mr. Lincoln had a skull fracture of his forehead at age 10 as a result of a horse's kick, and he survived. What an amazing person!
jon madison
@Rod... they made them *tough* back then!
B. Forrester
LIncoln invented "Magnum" and "Blue steel". The US first international male model. Lincoln is so hot right now!

I have added this image (as a stereo card animation) to clicksypics.com, and added this photostream to the links. Thanks for posting this great image!

It actually works better if you do the opposite of crossing your eyes, look through the picture, as if you were looking at something way off in the distance. It's not as easy as crossing your eyes but the 3d effect is better.
