RE: Is this Abraham Lincoln?
If the first picture that Roger posted was of Lincoln (which it isn't. If it looks like anyone it looks more like Henry Clay to me), then it would have been of a younger Lincoln. Robert Todd Lincoln told Ida Tarbell that this was the earliest known photograph of Lincoln, which appeared in McClure's Magazine in the first part of Tarbell's series on Lincoln.
![[Image: eLK4UM2l_t.jpg]](https://thumbs2.imgbox.com/68/3f/eLK4UM2l_t.jpg) Of course it is quite possible someday to find a photo of Lincoln that isn't known, but the one Roger was asked to post isn't even close. Best Rob Abraham Lincoln in the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell
I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent. --Carl Sandburg
