Now that's a sneaky answer, Roger, 'cause all military folk are civilians at some point in their life. Assuming that this person is tied to Lincoln in some respect, was he military or civilian at the time of their interaction?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 01-12-2018
Both.
RE: Who is this person? - Anita - 01-12-2018
Reminds me of Mark Twain.
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 01-12-2018
I am sorry, Anita, but it's not Mark Twain.
RE: Who is this person? - L Verge - 01-12-2018
I can see that profile attached to a military uniform, but can't finish the connection.
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 01-12-2018
Hint #1: This is a person who has been mentioned on the forum.
RE: Who is this person? - AussieMick - 01-12-2018
Charles Kellogg?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 01-12-2018
I am sorry, Michael, but it's not Charles Kellogg.
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 01-12-2018
Hint #2: At the time this man's relief sculpture portrait was made, another one was also made of his wife:

RE: Who is this person? - AussieMick - 01-12-2018
'both civilian and military' ... so maybe involved with War Dept or Indian administration ? (and a Mark Twain impersonator)
... on the other hand could be nothing whatsoever to do with my above post ... Henry Sands Brooks (supplier of uniforms as well as gentlemens attire) and wife Lavinia?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 01-12-2018
That is a thoughtful guess, Michael, but incorrect. The person is more well-known than Henry Sands Brooks.
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 01-12-2018
Wild guess - Lloyd George?
Or John Gutzon de la Mothe Borglum?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 01-13-2018
I am sorry, Eva, but it is neither of those people.
Hint #3: The sculpted portraits were made in 1871.
Hint #3.5: The wife, as well as the husband, have been discussed on this forum.
RE: Who is this person? - AussieMick - 01-13-2018
Larkin G. Mead and the lady is Mary Harlan Lincoln.
( Please save the applause ... Australians are too big-headed as it is)
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 01-13-2018
Kudos, Michael! Indeed the lady is Mary Harlan Lincoln. But the man is not Larkin Mead. Mead, the designer of the Lincoln Tomb, is the man who created the two sculpted portraits. So who is the man in the initially posted image?
