The strange thing about Abraham Lincoln and the images, what have portrayed him and his son.

There are two images of Abraham Lincoln. Another (Image I) is taken in 1864, and that image shown man, who has remarkable big ears. And the second image portrays man, who has normal-size ears talking with a young boy, who seems like Ulysses S. Grant, but that image can be fake. Or the boy has a mask on his face?
There is a couple of interesting details in the pictures, what are portraying President Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865). The ears of that man are remarkably large, and this thing has sometimes brought in my mind the possibility, that this man used the ear trumpets, what is meant for the primitive hearing aid. The model of ear trumpets what are normally seen in cartoons are models, what is kept in hand, but maybe Lincoln had the models, what could be used all the time.
Those very big ears have not seen in paintings, but photographs are uncovering the extraordinary large auricles, and there is another thing, what is interesting. The family of President Lincoln had four sons, and only one of them survived in adult age. The second son William Wallace Lincoln ( 1850-1862) died in the age of 11. Third son Tad Lincoln (1853-1871) died in the age of 18, and the last son handicapped Edward Baker Lincoln (1846-1850) died in the age of 4. Only the eldest son Robert Todd Lincoln (1843-1926) survived in the age 83, or exactly he died a couple of weeks before his birthday.

The remarkable thing in the Robert Todd Lincoln is that he looks very much Ulysses S. Grant, but that man-made remarkable career in the politics of the United States. The image what I chose for this text is the image, where Abraham Lincoln speaks with his son Tad, and sometimes there have been tales, that Lincoln wrote a letter to his son's teacher, and those people are discussing about the words, what Lincoln used in that letter. But the thing is that Abraham Lincoln didn't write that letter. So the image might be a hoax.
His children had one remarkable problem during their life. They were in the shadow of their great father, who was, of course, a person where they were compared. There is one little detail, why I choose that image. The face of Tad seems to covered by using a mask, but there might be the reason for that. The thing is that there is a possibility, that the boy had some kind of injury that required a mask. Or the image is fake, and there is somebody else in the place of Tad.
But when we are thinking about Abraham Lincoln, we must understand that there is one very sad thing in his life. The thing is that the death by the hand of assassinator took notice from the life of that remarkable man to his death. The thing that Lincoln operated as the President of the United States during the civil war and in very difficult times has been stay in the shadow of the assassination, what is the very remarkable case in the criminal history. And there are many stories of this case.
