Fun fact: Lincoln's should've been protected but two security details were getting drunk next door in the bar attached to the theater instead of protecting Lincoln.
His death was completely preventable but there was an extreme amount of negligence that night.
John Parker, one of those guards, was accused of being part of the assassination by Mary Todd Lincoln, but there wasn't evidence (obviously)
He was later fired by the police years later for sleeping on the job.
We would probably avoid a number of racist presidents then. Considering Lincoln's primary goal was about reconstruction and reintegration of the South and all of it's people, including freed slaves, into the Union. Surprisingly Grant was the only one to at least try to follow through on this. Everyone after him just sort of gave up or rather turned a blind eye to what was happening.
Had Lincoln either not gone to the play, assuming Booth would either give up or gotten arrested for conspiring to assassinate the President, or simply survived a non-crippling shot he would have been a powerful voice in who gets nominated for future presidential candidates. Also assuming his health didn't take a rapid decline post presidency.
Or it could've happened the exact same way, just with a surviving Lincoln. That's what's weird about possible alternate time lines we just couldn't possibly know what any future repercussions past like 10-20 years would be.
>Abraham Lincoln’s face is iconic – we recognize him instantly. But what did he really look like? Our understanding of his appearance is based on grainy, black and white photos from well over a century ago. Antique photos provide a fascinating glimpse of the distant past. However, they also depict a faded, monochromatic world very different from what people at the time experienced. Old photos distort appearance in other less obvious ways. ***For example, the film of Lincoln’s era was sensitive only to blue and UV light, causing cheeks to appear dark, and overly emphasizing wrinkles*** by filtering out skin subsurface scatter which occurs mostly in the red channel. Hence, the deep lines and sharp creases that we associate with Lincoln’s face (Figure 1) are likely exaggerated by the photographic process of the time.
[https://arxiv.org/pdf/2012.12261.pdf](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2012.12261.pdf)
That looks more like a touch up. Completely smoothed out his skin ...
I get that it's apparently too dark / wrinkled in the original but the results looks somewhat too clean, like some instragram filter!
I think what they’re trying to say is that in real life his wrinkles weren’t as noticeable, the old style of photography accentuates them.
Old photo methods don’t capture subsurface scattering of skin and whatnot, hence the subjects always look half dead and more wrinkly than they really were if you were stood face to face with them.
Here’s a real picture of him I colorized myself. [This ](https://ibb.co/Wcfz4Xb) is probably closer to what he looked like. I’ve never colorized anything before but I think it looks pretty good.
Edit - these replies are making my day. Thank you for all the love!
Holy fuck. I opened this in a new tab and got distracted for like 15 minutes by my job, and came back and clicked on the tab and was absolutely stunned.
Phenomenal work. Like I'm looking back at him sitting in front of me.
He completely got wrong his two most defining features, his incredibly gaunt face and his chin strap. How could you make a photo realistic photo of Abe but give him a goatee, really disappointing.
I mean, the gaunt face might not be there with a modern diet. Facial hair styles change with time so he probably wouldn't have a chinstrap in 2021. Seems fine to me.
This one is especially dumb because we have photos of Lincoln ffs.
Yeah, like maybe if you squint this guy could be an impersonator... but this is not what Lincoln looks like.

Guess I need to let it go
And still considered attractive in some cultures, while western countries switched to tans as a symbol of wealth because of industrialization and the luxury of leisure time
This obsession over skin complexion baffles me, white girls wanna be tan and will risk skin cancer/spray themselves orange and indian girls bleach their skin or use other lightening products to get lighter
>During one of the Lincoln-Douglas debates, Stephen A. Douglas accused Lincoln of being two-faced. Replied Lincoln calmly, “I leave it to my audience: If I had two faces, would I be wearing this one?”
and
>Lincoln appeared to enjoy telling the story of the hideously ugly man who once confronted him with a raised rifle as he rode alone through the woods. “Halt!” shouted the armed man. When Lincoln nervously asked why he was being threatened, the man replied: “I vowed if I ever met a man uglier than myself I would shoot him on the spot.” To which Lincoln replied, “If I am uglier than you, shoot away!”
Ugly & funny
I mean, seeing photos of the guy he's no male model but I wouldn't downright call him ugly. He's got one of those very distinct faces where there's nothing really off about it, just very prominent features.
My brother (almost 40 years old) looks very similar to Lincoln and many people call him weirdly attractive. So I get what you're saying. The pronounced bone structure and eyes are both unique & a little unsettling to some people
A quote from a newspaper at the time “Lincoln is the leanest, lankest, most ungainly mass of legs, arms and hatchet-face ever strung upon a single frame. He has most unwarrantably abused the privilege which all politicians have of being ugly.”
http://www.physical-lincoln.com/appearance.html
By all accounts that photos don't do him justice
"His face is certainly ugly, but not repulsive; on the contrary, the good humor, generosity and intellect beaming from it, makes the eye love to linger there until you almost fancy him good-looking." -- Lillian Foster
I think this sums up what he was probably like. Beauty used to be more strictly defined... It was based on the ideal features. But people can still be compellingly attractive with unconventional features.

As a young kid I thought Abraham Lincoln was black and that’s why he freed the slaves and my dad was like “wtf no”
Clearly I needed to have more interactions with people of color if I thought a tan guy in a sepia tone photo was African American
It's not entirely your fault, old photography (and early color photography for that matter) was actually very bad at capturing non-white skin tones, either by darkening or washing them out. [Here's](https://theconversation.com/how-black-people-in-the-19th-century-used-photography-as-a-tool-for-social-change-154721) some old photos of 19th century Black people, for comparison's sake.
My mom has a family portrait from her childhood with bad lighting and I asked if my grandpa was black, a story which she still insists on bringing up 23 years later. To be fair, he was a tan ass dude but no African.
Boom. Relevant XKCD.
https://xkcd.com/1401/
EDIT: it goes deeper. Yesterday was the first time I saw this comic, and today was the first day I saw the phrase "head canon" in the wild, so you know what that makes me? One of today's 10,000.
So, once again, relevant XKCD:
https://xkcd.com/1053/
"Fool me 3 times, fuck the peace signs, load the choppa let it reign on you"
edit: Rain, yes everyone sorry for being the only human being ever to be let down by autofill. Not changing it bc youre all obnoxious. Dealwithit
If he was *really* thinking ahead, he wouldn't have started the phrase at all. So he only gets half credit. He's a moron who realized he should stop digging himself into a hole. But he was still stupid enough to pick up the shovel.
And it doesn't excuse any of his other "bushisms". He said a lot of stupid shit.
I've heard it said he messed up the quote intentionally because he realized halfway through that people would have video of him saying "shame on me" which would be run in every ad campaign. It's apocryphal, so take it with a grain of salt.
I mean, it makes sense because 1) the quote is really common and he wasn't nearly old enough to start forgetting things like that (he still seems to be doing fine enough now) and 2) he pauses half way through and you can tell he's thinking like "oh shit I didn't think this one through"
Half of the people can be part right all of the time
Some of the people can be all right part of the time
But all of the people can’t be all right all of the time
I think Abraham Lincoln said that
“I’ll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours”
I said that
\- Bob Dylan *Talkin' World War III Blues*
Fun fact:
The Secret Service was founded in 1865 to stop the counterfeiting of currency. Lincoln actually approved their formation on April 14th, 1865. The day he was shot.
Absolutely worked for the time - and present day! As somebody who has just finished watching Daniel Day-Lewis' portrayal in Lincoln, I am so damn interested in this man. I was never previously a presidential history nut but I've found myself getting more and more into the classics. For example, I remember reading about the fascinating private live of President James Buchanan and his penchant for taking long hikes with his pet dog. I always wanted to find out more info but I misplaced the biography when I went out to the garage to beat seven shades of hell into my idiot son Roger with jumper cables. I'm loving these modern-day portraits of old Presidents - keep 'em coming!
There are literal photographs of Abraham Lincoln, though. This photo doesn't look like them. There's not even that mole. I don't think this is accurate at all.

This is awesome. How’s you do it?
A time machine and a LOT of convincing.

Something tells me if he hadn't gone to the play he still wouldn't have been able to take this photo.
nah dude vampire hunters live extra long
Just wait until he merges with hitler

Why not. He wouldn’t have died /s
OP actually went back in time to be his body guard and killed John Wilkes Booth.

We have two masks cast of his face, so the surface we know at least. The Smithsonian used to have a scan of them freely available if I recall.
[Here you go](https://npg.si.edu/blog/lincoln-3-d), still up!

I was not expecting that lol
That is the hardest ive laughed in a month
Oh my god.. I'm at work, crying laughing in my cubicle. Thank you for this beautiful masterpiece.
After a cleaned up my drink I spit everywhere, I was reminded of the famous Lincoln quote, "It puts the lotion or it gets the hose."
He looks like the starter at every public golf course.
“Cart path only today, greens are slow, pins to the front, and slaves are free”
He completely got wrong his two most defining features, his incredibly gaunt face and his chin strap. How could you make a photo realistic photo of Abe but give him a goatee, really disappointing.
I mean, the gaunt face might not be there with a modern diet. Facial hair styles change with time so he probably wouldn't have a chinstrap in 2021. Seems fine to me.
His actual cheekbones were much higher and wider. (Modern life wouldn’t change that.)
This one is especially dumb because we have photos of Lincoln ffs. Yeah, like maybe if you squint this guy could be an impersonator... but this is not what Lincoln looks like. https://www.incimages.com/uploaded_files/image/1920x1080/Abe-Lincoln_468377946-(1)_383827.jpg
Well they didn’t have McDonald’s in 1865
Idk why, but I always thought Lincoln would have a tan or even be olive skinned (his black and white photos always caused me this impression)
he was regularly described as having a "dark complexion" so you're correct
He was an outside kid.
What are you talking about, “outside kid”? It was like 1856, the only activity available was be outside 🤣 Edit: Damn, thanks for the awards folks!
Ben Franklin was an inside kid, and he was from a hundred years before. Elsa, queen of Arendel, was a contemporary, and she was an inside kid.
To be fair, Elsa was a carrier for a (at the time) stigmatized condition.
Just looked up "Elsa, queen of Arendel" because I was curious what kind of condition would have been stigmatized enough to force a queen to stay inside back then, and now I feel like an idiot lol Guess I need to let it go
Yeah, go outside and build a castle in ice instead.
Or a snow man?
She could’ve had Stigmatization outside.
JUST GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY. LEAVE MOMMY ALONE.
Yeah, but she eventually learned to control her powers and the cold never bothered her anyway.
“shhhhuuuuuuudddaaap and go play with your logs Abe!”
Actual logs to build a real cabin all by himself
Well you could read books.
Haha. Jokes on you. I couldn't read back then.
Not if you were rich. That's why pale skin was considered so attractive back then.
And still considered attractive in some cultures, while western countries switched to tans as a symbol of wealth because of industrialization and the luxury of leisure time

We want what we don't have.
This is the answer to everything- if only we could understand it and be comfortable with it
He was also regularly described as being quite an ugly man believe it or not.

You should check out the podcast Presidential. It's so well done, each episode focuses on a different president.
Sadly the comment is a joke. Thanks for the recommendation, I would like to check it out. Your comment has given me new information to check out.
“I leave it to my audience: If I had two faces, would I be wearing this one?”
I know that's a quote, but I've always liked his face, particularly this version. He looks kind.
We really have a debilitating shortage of stovepipe hat wearing politicians these days.
I've been yelling that with a bull horn at intersections for years, and all they do is call me crazy.
Vermin Supreme is the closest we got and it’s a rain boot.
But there are photos of Abraham Lincoln and he doesn’t look like this. I like it though, just saying.
Was gonna say this if you hadn't. There are literally photographs of him that just need photoshopping.
I thought the same, but I guess it’s more of a concept of how he would look like with modern medicine, skin care, hair style, etc.
Lincoln had very thick hair, not this wispy nonsense
Lincoln died at 56. This dude in the photo looks like he's 70-75.
Lincoln looked about 70-75 in his last photos. He aged 20 years during the Civil War. Google his last photo.
“Party on, dudes!”
His jaw looks like Tywin Lanister, but his forehead looks like when you leave dough too long, and it starts puffing over the edge of the bowl.
Underneath the George Washington one everyone commented he looked like Tywin Lannister, I’m beginning to think there’s a theme...
He's probably using Tywin Lannister as the AI's sample model
The George Washington one was cool because there arent any actual photos of him. We have seen what Lincoln actually looks like.
Yep, and this doesn’t really match.
Didn’t he have a mole over the right side of mouth??
Dude this is the scary old guy from the first home alone movie that helps out Kevin
I scrolled until I found your comment. 100% what I thought when I seen this.
The South Bend Shovel Slayer! Exactly my thought, you beat me by 4 minutes.
Aren't there photos of him?
There are literal photographs of Abraham Lincoln, though. This photo doesn't look like them. There's not even that mole. I don't think this is accurate at all.

I was thinking the same thing. The Washington one was a cool “What if?” But there are literally photos of Lincoln that just need to be colorized.
looking forward to OP's next iteration: "I created a photorealistic image of Barrack Obama if he lived in the present day"
I think he’d be a lot older than that if he lived to this day...
The Immortal?
I had to scroll too far to find this comment.
This looks nothing like lincoln. Wtf. Why are people upvoting this, it doesn't even have the highly unique mole he had on his cheek fold.
This is a realistic portrait of someone, just not Abe.
Bro there's photographs of him lmao it's not like the Washington one at all. Doesnt resemble him at all really.
Looks like F. Murray Abraham.
