Colorized Gardner Photograph of Abraham Lincoln - RJNorton - 09-25-2015 09:30 AM 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 - LincolnMan - 09-25-2015 12:30 PM 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 07:49 PM Impressive - looks almost 3D. RE: Colorized Gardner Photograph of Abraham Lincoln - Hess1865 - 09-26-2015 09:03 AM My favorite Lincoln photo RE: Colorized Gardner Photograph of Abraham Lincoln - Angela - 09-26-2015 02:27 PM 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 04:51 PM 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 02:06 AM Yes, Roger - that's the one I meant! Very well done!! RE: Colorized Gardner Photograph of Abraham Lincoln - LincolnToddFan - 09-27-2015 04:09 PM 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 07:48 PM Notice Lincoln did not have a full beard at time. RE: Colorized Gardner Photograph of Abraham Lincoln - LincolnMan - 10-19-2015 08:58 PM 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.
