Lincoln on Flickr

The Library of Congress has added a series of images to Flickr that will “let you see how Lincoln looked over 20 years—from the earliest known photographic likeness in 1846, through the U.S. presidential campaign of 1860, and the pressures of the Civil War years. Views from Lincoln’s funeral in 1865 and portraits of his immediate family are also included.”

    Very cool to see the Gov using social media, even in a small way.
