I feel nobody gave this photo a chance because of ron rietvelds lead by the nose planted find . and once you bullies started to deny the obvious only post mortum of abe Lincoln the rest of you fell in line . no one addressed my challenges , no one compared his features that are truly distinct, despite the brady stand it is a post mortum his lips are sewn shut, set in a slight smile .clean shaven like the embalmers report you posted on this site , that statue in the coffin is just that . deal with it ! I wonder how many artifacts are lost due to historians non scientific approach and failure to consider. I am very disappointed in this matter , but thank you rj Norton for posting , and good day to all of you.

One topic on the internet that is frequently mischaracterized is Victorian postmortem photography. I would highly recommend looking at this site about the topic:

Perhaps it would better explain why I believe that the person in your photograph was still living.
