The Lincoln Image

[Angela]

His “unconventional appearance”—I like that. We have all commented on his physical features. Even Lincoln make fun of his own looks. But is that what the description refers to? I wonder. Was there something else that made Lincoln’s appearance for that day and age “unconventional?”
To me unconventional would more refer to manner of dress or even hairstyle. Thoughts?

What about his size...his height was rather uncommon in the day. Though I also agree on the facial features and the way he walked as others mentioned.
