Lincoln campaign rally in Springfield, August 8, 1860. Adhering to nineteenth-century custom, Abraham Lincoln did not actively campaign for the presidency. But, he did make local appearances. In this 1860 photograph, he is wearing a white suit, standing next to the front door of his home. Relatively unknown outside Illinois, Lincoln benefited from having his image widely circulated on campaign materials, like The Railsplitter.

Hello all, Happy Sunday. Time to vote for your favorite image. (BELOW) This week, NATO photographers caught my attention with these images of US troops “fully engaged.” In each shot, something was occurring, just did, or was about to–without reading the caption it’s clear–It’s written on their faces.
