16th U.S. President Abe Lincoln, colorized from a photo by Alexander Gardner taken in Feb 1865.

Being the president trying to win and eventually won the U.S. Civil war can hasten the aging process. Here's how a Feb 1865 photo by Alexander Gardner was able to capture a weary Abe Lincoln just a month before his inaugural for his second term as president and just 2 months away from his assassination in April 1865, just 5 days after Gen. Lee's surrender. Colorized in two versions with background liberties.
