Lincoln served as the sixteenth president of the United States and is perhaps one of the most well known politicians in history. Born in 1809, Lincoln had a decorated life as a statesman and lawyer before becoming president.


Lincoln was photographed several times in his life but the first known photo is from 1846 when he was 37 years old.
