Colorized Gardner Photograph of Abraham Lincoln - RJNorton - 09-25-2015 Thank you to Laurie for sending this colorized photo of Abraham Lincoln. It was taken by Alexander Gardner during the February 5, 1865, sitting at Gardner's Gallery at 7th and D streets in Washington. The glass plate cracked. RE: Colorized Gardner Photograph of Abraham Lincoln - Gene C - 09-25-2015 Makes me wonder what he's thinking about. RE: Colorized Gardner Photograph of Abraham Lincoln - LincolnMan - 09-25-2015 Very nice. This is the photograph that is commonly attributed as the "last photograph" of Lincoln- which it is not. RE: Colorized Gardner Photograph of Abraham Lincoln - Eva Elisabeth - 09-25-2015 Impressive - looks almost 3D. RE: Colorized Gardner Photograph of Abraham Lincoln - Hess1865 - 09-26-2015 My favorite Lincoln photo RE: Colorized Gardner Photograph of Abraham Lincoln - Angela - 09-26-2015 Is this from the Madsen pictures that were done a couple of years ago? I remember not liking them at first because adding something always takes away from the original, but the have been growing on me. RE: Colorized Gardner Photograph of Abraham Lincoln - RJNorton - 09-26-2015 Angela, I think so. There is a whole page of his Civil War colorized photos here. RE: Colorized Gardner Photograph of Abraham Lincoln - Angela - 09-27-2015 Yes, Roger - that's the one I meant! Very well done!! RE: Colorized Gardner Photograph of Abraham Lincoln - LincolnToddFan - 09-27-2015 President Obama has said that this is his favorite photograph of Lincoln, but it's a photo that breaks my heart. RE: Colorized Gardner Photograph of Abraham Lincoln - LincolnMan - 09-27-2015 Notice Lincoln did not have a full beard at time. RE: Colorized Gardner Photograph of Abraham Lincoln - LincolnMan - 10-19-2015 The colorization also gives Lincoln a streak of gray hair over his left ear. I hadn't read that hevwas turning gray but he certainly was old enough and had huge stress that might have caused it.
