Library of Congress says: Abraham Lincoln, presidential candidate, head-and-shoulders portrait, facing slightly right, from a photograph taken June 3, 1860. [Photo shows Lincoln in a print made from a negative taken by Alexander Hesler, Springfield, Illinois, June 3, 1860.]
Wikipedia says: When Lincoln saw this photograph, along with his side view portrait from the same sitting, he remarked “That looks better and expresses me better than any I have ever seen; if it pleases the people I am satisfied.”
