[Semi Civil Servant]

A TOTAL OF TWO INDIVIDUALS HAVE EXAMINED THE ORIGINAL DAGUERREOTYPE SINCE IT’S DISCOVERY IN 1996. One was a representative of the National Portrait Gallery, and her literal two minute examination without the benefit of magnification at the Smithsonian in July 1998 resulted in the following statement;......” We all know what our family members, relatives, friends, and famous people look like, and this does not look like Abraham and Mary Lincoln.” And that was that.

The other individual who examined the original daguerreotype was Lloyd Ostendorf, who was generally recognized as the leading authority in the world on Lincoln photographs. At a meeting at his home in Dec. 1996, he spent all of ten seconds looking at a three inch by four inch mirrored image held at arms length without the benefit of magnification, before uttering his trademark reply.... “close, but no cigar.”

Denial from two Lincoln experts is definitive proof that the seller is the victim of a conspiracy.

Other than the fact that the faces are wrong and Mary seems to have dropped about 70 pounds from every other picture ever taken of her, IT JUST COULD BE THEM!

Caling Mulder and Scully. Someone has replaced the faces of Abe and Mary in this genuine photograph with these imposters.
