This daguerreotype is the earliest confirmed photographic image of Abraham Lincoln. It was reportedly made in 1846 by Nicholas H. Shepherd shortly after Lincoln was elected to the United States House of Representatives. (1846) [808×1024].

   Interesting to see him without the iconic beard

   He still looks exactly the same even without the beard.

   I read “the life of Abraham Lincoln” by Henry Ketchum. It said he picked up a 600lb chicken coop and carried it.

   It’s free on kindle

   Thanks to “Life is Strange” I actually know what a “Daguerreotype” is.
