this is a post mortum abe Lincoln , compare his facial features , ears ,hands arms shoulders, the hair color could be the lighting or flash,
check the hairline , the embalmers report says he set his lips in a slight smile my photo shows that , he was clean shaven except a tuft on his chin ,

that death photo shows a full beard , the embalmer shaved him, no slight smile as per embalmers report , in fact I believe it to be a bust of his 1861 life mask, abe looked much older at death.
