Is it or isn't it?

Quote:

In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln stirred the soul of an embattled nation with the famous speech he delivered in Gettysburg, Pa. And now, 150 years later, Lincoln has again aroused passions by being spotted — possibly — in a stereoscopic photograph taken on the day of the Gettysburg Address.

Interesting article. It does kind of look like him.

Thanks for posting that.

Been some debate on it on the CW forum, but I don't think it will ever be confirmed.

I can't tell anything from that photo. It could be John Wilkes Booth for all we know.

It is Lincoln, changing into his true lizardman form.

Brady had one of the first licenses. Little known fact.

I read it on the Internets Tubes.
