Summary[edit]
DescriptionLincoln - composite.JPG |
These enlargements compare a photo of Abraham Lincoln taken on February 5, 1865, and a photo allegedly taken April 16, 1865, following his assassination. In his book Lincoln's Photographs: A Complete Album, Lloyd Ostendorf, a recognized Lincoln expert, noted: "Month by month the White House barbers clipped and trimmed until, in the final months of life, it was little more than a five-o'clock shadow" (393). Ostendorf also claimed the April 16 image authentic. However, his claim has been disputed, and Ostendorf died shortly after publishing his book. |
