Post Mortem Tintype Photograph of Abraham Lincoln??

[L Verge]

There seems to be a growing trend to label any photo of a lean-faced gentleman with the traditional beard and hair style of the mid-1800s as a picture of Abraham Lincoln. This is such a man. And no matter who it is/was, it's 99% certain that it was not taken in death.

After decades of exhibiting true post-mortems of infants to mothers with "sleeping" babies in their arms, to elderly men and women at Surratt House, I have yet to see anyone in a totally upright position and with their eyes open. This gentleman does have nice, blue eyes, however (or is blind).
