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.

I love the lighting and color in this portrait it's very even.

It's interesting; after a lifetime of seeing that steady gaze on currency, marble busts, painted in portraits and literally carved out of a mountain... there's no way for me to mentally strip all that away - to simply think of him as a man.
His face - and the time, place and events it represents, are transcendent. Perhaps it's fitting that a president of such great consequence and unusual circumstances would be himself so unique and unusual-looking.

I love this stately portrait of the 16th president of the United States. Though he belongs to the ages, his memory will endure forever.

For the person who put the note about wanting to hear what he sounded like, I have read that his voice was rather high pitched and awkward sounding, almost nerdy.

superb portrait of an amazing man!

I love these photos. This one by far has got to be the greatest.

This is probably my favorite among his photos that I have seen. The somewhat messy hair just makes him all the more human/mortal. I love this photo!! And here he is wearing that very same frock coat with the baggy sleeves.

From a fashion perspective, the peak lapel, cuff detail and fabric sheen, show Lincoln to be an early metro in that he cared about what he wore. The watch chain and vest are very cool.

It's nice to see that someone at the Lib of Congress has a sense of humor. Looks at the tags,... werewolf. That's great.

Great leader, great picture. I still get sad every time I think about his assassination, even though its now been over 140 years.

I'm so happy to know that there are aficionados of the 16th President of the United States out there, continuing to commemorate his Bicentennial. Being born on Lincoln's BirthdayFeb 12th), I revered the ground Lincoln tred on. Factoid: Lincoln really admired the music of "Oh Way Down South in Dixie." Ironically, several hours earlier, in a Thrift Store, at a magazine rack, I was gazing at this very picture on the cover of the dated magazine. Strange, As if I was in some kind of trance. Strange indeed. It happened..

Who should I contact on its value??
