Close, but no cigar. The facial mole moved from right to left? If they say the picture is just the opposite due to the copy, how do you explain the parted hair?
I believe this image is a daugerreotype. They resulted in a reverse image.
There’s a famous daugerreotype of Mark Twain at age 15 where he’s holding a type stick with his birth name, Sam, in it. The type is reversed — so that it’s readable— because of the reversal.
So that’d explain why Lincoln’s part and mole are on the opposite side
Someone had invented combs before this.
