RE: Winkin' and Blinkin'
Indeed an unusual photo. According to Lloyd Ostendorf it was originally attributed to Mathew Brady but was actually taken in early 1865 by Lewis Emory Walker (a government photographer). One possible explanation (according to Ostendorf) for the short hair is that Lincoln wanted it short for the life mask Clark Mills was going to make. From previous experience (Leonard Volk) Lincoln knew that longer hair could cling to the plaster.
