May 7, 1858. Abraham Lincoln photographed at Beardstown, Illinois. Stephen A. Douglas photographed at Washington, D.C.
“Formerly in the Lincoln Monument collection at Springfield, Illinois. Mr. Lincoln wore a linen coat on the occasion. The picture is regarded as a good likeness of him as he appeared during the Lincoln Douglas campaign.” (From Wikipedia, List of photographs of Abraham Lincoln.)

Stephen A. Douglas was obviously fond of his meals.

So a photo taken in Beardstown shows Lincoln without a beard. When did he grow it? Did he grow and shave it off several times before being elected president?

Lincoln’s picture in the linen suit was taken immediately after he had won the acquittal of Duff Armstrong in the ‘Almanac Trial,’ 160 years ago today.
