Abraham Lincoln portrait, colorized

comshield · 9 months

Holy crap, I never really thought about what he looked like in color, he looks so much more real.

tih5h0 · 9 months

Damn, he looks tired.

songb1rd · 9 months

It is incredible how color brings this image to life. I've been seeing this portrait all my life, but somehow it says so much more to me now...

borisia · 9 months

The sad thing is that he wouldn't be elected today because he's not good-looking enough.

CovalentBear · 9 months

A colored Lincoln? This kills the Republican Party.

Supercattle · 9 months

He looks kinda scary... I am uncomfortable now.

eggy-weggs · 9 months

Does..does he have a nug in his hands?

whatever_idc · 9 months

Very well done! It requires an artistic talent to colorize pictures. Green isn't just the color of grass, you know!

chunkymunkey · 9 months

a colored president? what'll they think of next?!

tdn · 9 months

Frightening image, he seems so perfect in black and white.

briantehpirate · 9 months

I see no hat....THAT'S NOT LINCOLN!

Devadander · 9 months

First of all, I really like this. Humanizes him in a way the old B&W photos can't.

But what is that wadded up 'tie' around his neck? Is that how things were done back then, or was this Lincoln's way of showing a relaxed side?

Higher res.

douguncensored · 9 months

Dali did it. From 20 meters away, anyway

SenorMcBean · 9 months

Capital job.

PoochDoobie · 9 months

He was a weird lookin dude.

iSunMonkey · 9 months

He looks like a heavy amphetamine user.

octopolis · 9 months

For some reason I just can't stop looking at this...it's entrancing

atheistpriest · 9 months

How does one go about colorizing a picture? Before photoshop, did it actually involve painting on the negative with a brush? Just curious.

justicereform · 9 months

Neckbeard?? can someone confirm?

TheBobaDett · 9 months

Why does it always have to be about color?

Dr_Mantis_TobogganMD · 9 months

Buscemi with a beard.

Vogey · 9 months

His eyes are intense.

OhManOhGodEtc · 9 months

Me seeing this

blue-yoshi · 9 months

When I look at his face, it looks like his hands are moving.

n00bLMAO · 9 months

He was a weird looking mother fucker.

shoulderdestruction · 9 months

Am I the only person who can no longer look at a pic of Abe without thinking of how he saved the world from vampire domination?

EDIT: Nice job

IWankToMyself · 9 months

I hardly recognized him without his coppery features.

ShallowBasketcase · 9 months

He's a really unusual-looking guy, isn't he? More like a caricature than a photograph. They just don't make people like that anymore, everyone looks so bland and generic now.

MarketParasite · 9 months

A challenge to anyone with photoshop skills to make the flesh colour and tone more natural.

Teejaflu · 9 months

He is one ugly mother fucker in his old age. It doesn't matter to me though. He was known for being honest, which you don't see much of nowadays.

EDGAR_ALLAN_PWN · 9 months

Wait... Lincoln was white?

markySWAG · 9 months

does the word "colorized" bother anyone else?

donnydungarees · 9 months

What a totally awesome, totally ugly magnificent son of a bitch

RevengeOfTheMarsbar · 9 months

Brilliant.

Finaltidus · 9 months

his right eye seems too bright

haltedconfusion · 9 months

He looks.......old.

karltee · 9 months

after seeing this, this is all i thought

[deleted] · 9 months

Should've put this background: lasers!

letsgoblues · 9 months

not exactly television material

8Cowboy · 9 months

Addams Family quality.

Geotis · 9 months

I think I've seen him in The Walking Dead.

FullOfEels · 9 months

Wait, he's white?

DHumefan · 9 months

I always had hard time imagining black and white photos and video. Thanks.

RedBarchetta14 · 9 months

kinda looks like an old sean penn

PrestoDigito · 9 months

This looks like a picture of Abe late in his presidency. I guess it's true, the office really ages a person.

howerpower · 9 months

Oh so you just assume he was white?

Osiris47 · 9 months

Dem Ears!

"If I were two-faced, would I be wearing this one?" -Abraham Lincoln

professorberrynibble · 9 months

TIL abraham lincoln had his photo taken in front of the same backdrop that I did in 6th grade in 1999

YardenGarden · 9 months

Strangely Beautiful, I can't look away... 0.0

mrdanneskjold · 9 months

ghostbackwards · 9 months

looks like a meth head

SexyAbeLincoln · 9 months

Damn, I look good.

the_pontiff · 9 months

Abraham Lincoln?... more like BABEraham Lincoln

TheOKKid · 9 months

This is what I imagine Lindsey Lohan will look like in about 45 years.

Except not as 'put together.'

sinhahaha · 9 months

It's weird how we think of the past in black and white usually

biganthony · 9 months

C0olGuyPaul · 9 months

His headshape makes him look creepy as fuck!

Jam_med · 9 months

What if he was black?

SpecialKRJ · 9 months

Someone should color him with red hair or something.

MindYerOwnBusiness · 9 months

Hey, Lincoln! Nice neck beard!

outlaw_01 · 9 months

Neckbeard. That is all.

ralphsrewardcard · 9 months

Who is he?

MindYerOwnBusiness · 9 months

In all seriousness; if you slapped a combo goatee/neck beard on my grandma, then these two were time machine twins.

LEDSoundsystem · 9 months

i really don't get why, but this picture makes me the proudest i've ever been to be an american.

Raijer · 9 months

Quite nice. Exceptional job, and a well deserved upvote for you, TW/.

BoobsMcGeek · 9 months

He totally DOES look like a ENT!

Imightbeflirting · 9 months

The thing is, I can't imagine someone looking like that as electable. "Not handsome enough!" would be the cry. How weird.

henrythegentlecreep · 9 months

Lincoln was an absolute badass in every way possible

tunaffect · 9 months

my god, it looks like he was just shot in the head.

MrDorkESQ · 9 months

I colorized a portrait of Lincoln once.

JBro74 · 9 months

Is he unwrapping a Worther's original?

zuzah · 9 months

I've got a lot more color pictures of Abraham Lincoln, and other famous presidents if anyone wants them. I've been gathering colored pictures of everything history-related for a while now. It puts everything into perspective. It shows that even great men like Ulysses S. Grant, and Abraham Lincoln, were ordinary men just like us. They just lived in another time, and age.

Edit: I've got an entire folder dedicated to History in general, all labeled and (most) dated correctly, according to the information I've gathered. Still saving color images scattered around the internet. Some aren't in color though, sadly.

punkynomie · 9 months

Anyone else think he looks like the pedo from the first season of Prison Break?

this_makes_no_sense · 9 months

I never noticed it, but now that he is in color, the bags on his face and his wrinkles are very apparent. He looks almost emaciated, which I don't have a problem with, but can you imagine if Lincoln ran for office now? I have a feeling the media would focus on his scruffy beard and unhealthy bags rather than his platform. It's kind of sad.

-mud · 9 months

Before television, most people never actually saw the king/president/khan/emperor/inka in real life. Most of the people voting for or against him had only seen his image in newspaper drawings.

Barbielyn · 9 months

Up vote for the impeccable restoration. Photo geek love!

ZeroKrysis · 9 months

Looks like t-bag from prison break.

CrackpotGonzo · 9 months

Probably a lot more grey hair...

sensors · 9 months

As a Brit, the word colorized makes me squirm. Just looks so wrong to me in at least two ways.

*Colourised (For my fellow brits)

goldner34 · 9 months

Jesus Lincoln, get some sleep.

stuppa · 9 months

So this is what it looks like to be a president during a full blown civil war

fromhollandwithweed · 9 months

It looks like he has some weed in his hand.

Spi_Vey · 9 months

Is there a subreddit for the restoration of old photos?

el_banditos · 9 months

silly internet, Abraham Lincoln wasn't coloured

slhamlet · 9 months

Bed head: check. Weird facial hair: check. Vintage clothing: Check. Slightly ironic grin: check.

ABE LINCOLN: HIPSTER PRESIDENT.

Sadcab · 9 months

Mother fucking boss.

krissypants4000 · 9 months

Wow, awesome. Thank you for this!

LordTowel · 9 months

What happened to Republicans like Lincoln? =(
