this is a post mortum abe Lincoln , compare his facial features , ears ,hands arms shoulders, the hair color could be the lighting or flash,
check the hairline , the embalmers report says he set his lips in a slight smile my photo shows that , he was clean shaven except a tuft on his chin ,

Mr. Lincoln is looking fairly alert for a post mortum photo. I guess the lighting or flash could make his black hair look white, but maybe it was the embalming chemicals, or perhaps his hair had been white for a while, but that he had worn a hairpiece to make himself look younger. (It worked for Gideon Welles and Thaddeus Stevens)

As for a post motum standing image, that reminds me of a song.
