Many years after the Civil War, a portrait of Lincoln (left) was placed in many buildings and educational institutions. Elegant as it is, Lincoln did not actually pose for the picture. The original picture belongs to the Southern leader John Calhoun, and Lincoln's head was superimposed into the photograph. Reason for doing so? It was because Lincoln did not have many 'heroic-style' portraits made in his life.
