Default Lincoln...Is that You?

There is currently a Daguerreotype portrait of Young Abraham Lincoln on
Sale on eBay for $5,000,000.

Or

www.lincolnportrait.com

Side by side comparision:

I do not think for a second this is Lincoln. To my mind the upper lip
is completely different, The nose, The ears lower when they atrophy not
raise up.

Would be interested in your opinions.

Mark
