The picture I saw yesterday (forgot what news site) had much better resolution. And yes, it did resemble Lincoln. This was taken at the dedication of the Gettysburg Cemetary prior to his address.
When you look at the detailed photos in the Smithsonian piece on the photo it's extremely convincing. They've identified other major figures standing by him, which makes a strong case for the ID, here's the link- http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history-archaeology/Interactive_Seeking_Abraham_Lincoln_at_the_Gettysburg_Address.html
Scholars disagree about that being Lincoln. I do see what they are talking about but no class ring.
ReplyDeleteI think the more important question here is where's Waldo?
ReplyDeleteNo, but I see Jimmy Hoffa, does that count?
ReplyDeleteHe's carrying his vampire hunter gear in a plastic bag, you just can't see it.
ReplyDeleteThat´s Michael J Fox, back in the past, visiting RDJ and Ben Affleck.
ReplyDeleteso obvious...

ReplyDeleteThere's a man named Andrew Basiago who says he was in a secret gov't time travel program and was sent back to Gettysberg.
ReplyDeleteHe says this is not Lincoln. Works for me.
He's right there! Eating a crunchy peanut butter sandwich, drinking a 40 out of a paper bag.

Thank you NbNW for the link. Much easier to see there. Very possibly is Lincoln.
ReplyDeleteIt's Robin Thicke.
ReplyDeleteI don't see Lincoln, but I DO see Amelia Earhart in the back row.
ReplyDeleteNo. And who cares? Dont get the hoopla. And I am a history buff.
ReplyDeleteI see a hat once it is pointed out... if not I would not have noticed it!
ReplyDeleteLooks like Nic Cage.
