Lincoln Inauguration Photos


The Library of Congress recently found four photographs of the crowd at President Abraham Lincoln’s second inauguration on March 4, 1865. The negatives of the photos had been mislabeled! In this picture, Lincoln is at the podium, almost in the middle, not wearing his stovepipe hat. Link -Thanks, Mr. Lonka!

It bothers me that organizations like that wont put up higher resolution images. There's no copyright on them, and yet they've made it impossible to even examine them in detail let alone use them in any form for projects (personal or otherwise)

Yes, red, they're obligated to serve you at the drop of a (stovepipe) hat as soon as they find something? Maybe they're working on it. Maybe you should just try writing them a letter.

Or, you know, you could just try searching google:
