Jesse- Double chin? Kirk Douglas?

Didn't Robert Mitchum have one as well?

 

[bgrone]

Double chin

Not to cause thread drift but I believe that the proper term is cleft chin, my late father was a dead ringer for Kirk Douglas.

 

[Kernel Crittenden]

I think the proper term is a "cleft" chin. A double chin is what you find in a Chinese phone book.

Gee thanks. And here I thought I had something in common with Kirk Douglas and Robert Mitchum. What a buzzkill!

Just pretend this is witty.

 

[Texas Star]

A double chin is what some older, fatter folks have that reminds one of a chameleon.

Think Alfred Hitchcock.

Here is another comparison of the photos, seems everybody has a different opinion.
e.
Are These Photographs of Abraham Lincoln?

Good grief where is Lurch when you need him.

 

[the ringo kid]

Good grief where is Lurch when you need him.

He is attending the semi-annual meeting for those with famous cleft chins and jaws.He went with Roger Moore and Chuck Connors.

Well, this is a bad copy of what's become known as the "Kaplan Daguerrotype" of Lincoln, an image of Lincoln apparently made in the early 1840s. It's supposedly been verified by a couple of forensic professionals as being him. Note, though, that the image is reversed, as are most images made using wet plate processes. You can tell it's reversed, by the way, by looking at the printing across the top of the image.

It probably doesn't matter, but every referenced verification of this as Lincoln that I've been able to find has used the reversed image as its control image, the basis for verification.

I've included the "real" image here.

 

[shaggist]

This image makes him look like a snake oil salesman-which he was.

 

[ACP230]

The nose doesn't look right for Lincoln to me.
Too pointed.

One of the sites linked from the story has problems with the eyes and ears too.

Wonder why the file is named "NotLincoln"?

 

[Naples22]

Everyone knows it's Gaston Glock. He invented the Jennings 22

 

[cndrdk]

Photo in a dark theater? Looks a lot like Pee Wee Herman to me.

 

[Watchdog]

Wonder why the file is named "NotLincoln"?

That's just a name I assigned to the photo file when I saved it in my computer, once I'd flipped the image. I could just as easily have titled it "Ugly Man" or "Man in Black" or whatever.

 

[rwsmith]

My first guess was Lincoln...

Upon seeing, I immediately thought, "Is is Lincoln?" Within two seconds I talked myself out of it and thought for sure I knew the guy but the more I looked the less I knew.
