RE: The uniqueness of Lincoln's beard

Also we don't know what look the toll of war would have made out of his shaved face. And he would have looked worse with a moustache IMO. And I like the photo Roger posted. I think in that era a beard symbolized also some riper/wiser age and dignity and was proper for office holders and scientists of a certain age? Did Mary ever comment (- I can't recall)? |
