I am very familiar with seeing the one on the right side but am hard pressed to think of a Lincoln photo where the ones on the left show clearly. Can anyone think of such a photo?

Roger, I have been searching through photos and though there are several photos that show the left side of his face fairly well, I haven't seen consistency between photos. Some look like there are moles and then on another photo, there doesn't appear to be any. Its so hard to tell with the natural photographic artifacts present in photos of that time period. I almost think the only way you could really get something clear enough would be to get a print made directly from the original glass plate negatives (and blow up the left side of his face).
