New
Picture of Abraham Lincoln Serving in the BlackHawk wars
 |
|
Well,
not really that new. This photographic composite present's a new
atist's rendition of how Abraham Lincoln would have looked serving
in the Black Hawk Wars in buckskin and "coon" hat.
Lincoln's
facial features come from a real Lincoln photograph taken by Alexander
Hesler that was digitially colored for the upcoming book and documentary,"
Color of Lincoln".
What
is shown for the fist time is the digital artistry thar brings
photorealism to conceptual representations of Abraham Lincoln.
At
the top of this page is also another piece of digital magic. Abraham
Lincoln and wife Mary Todd Lincoln were never photographed together
as far as is know by historians.
For
the first time, the President and First Lady are presented as
many had seen them in the White House receiving lines.

Abraham
Lincoln Bicentennial T-Shirts
The
Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial
t-shirts were first offered to the public at the Kentucky Inaugural
.

The shirts represent an important addition to the collection of American
Lincolnania. The limited editions (300 of each of 2 designs only) means
that very few of these Lincoln collectibles will be in the public's
hands.
Lincoln collectors interested in capturing this rare opportunity can
purchase the remaining shirts on the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission
webiste. The store link is at the bottom of the main page and then you
need to search for shirts while in the online store.
UPDATE:
The event was not resecheduled and the Bicentennial Commission opted to
have a "virtual" inaugural launched on its website in lieu of
another event.
