Not Included?

Apparently only studio photographs count- the inaugural photos, Gettysburg, and the casket photo all are not just skipped, they are not even MENTIONED. CFLeon (talk) 19:20, 13 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Date Of One Image

I've been doing some research on the image of Lincoln I added to the table for January 1861. It seems this article: http://illinoistimes.com/article-18667-lincoln%E2%80%99s-photographer-was-unlucky-in-love.html states that the date is January 13th, 1861. It sounds authentic, considering the circumstances. HaarFager (talk) 12:40, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The photograph dated 4-6-1861 and the two dated 5-16-1861 were obviously taken at the same time. Note the lay of strands of Lincoln's hair over his ear; note the stray strand of hair in the forefront of his hair part. Sir Rhosis (talk) 12:29, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Possible obscure photographs found

I just found photographs that could be Lincoln on twitter (for lack of a better source I will link those posts)

Could these be actual photographs of Lincoln, I have never seen them before and it would be astounding that these photographs, if real, have remained obscure for so long. There is a resemblance but I am uncertain, if they are authenticated somehow it would be good to add them here

Here is also an reliable, I would guess, source as it seems to be a print from some type of old book, specifically mentions the date April 26, 1864

Now I'll link the images themselves for maybe better resolution

Surely this list can only be "public domain photographs of lincoln", therefore cannot be an exhaustive list of all photos of lincoln?

There are a lot of photos missing from this list and they are in private collections or of unknown status/origin. perhaps this article should be deleted or renamed to "public domain photos of lincoln"...?
