Comment Abraham Lincoln's secretary, and later Secretary of State, en:John Hay. Note that extreme shadows were very common in photography of the early 20th century. There's even a P.G. Wodehouse sort-of-story (more of a comic rant, really) about it. Not too bad of restoration; the usual dust and damage for century-old photos. The sepia tones are original and should not be removed, as it's misleading as to what the historic image actually looks like. Adam Cuerden (talk) 15:53, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
Support -- Adam Cuerden (talk) 15:53, 9 October 2014 (UTC)- Support Good restoration. Unfortunately the LoC does only provide a scan of the colour film copy slide. Regards, Christoph Braun (talk) 16:44, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
