A photograph from the collection of Ulysses S. Grant has emerged that may depict Abraham Lincoln in front of the White House. The photograph was taken in 1865 and is believed to be the only photograph of the former President in front of the building. It is also thought to be one of the last photographs of Lincoln before his assassination in April of that same year.

As for me, I honestly couldn’t even tell that there were people in this photograph. So I’ll leave the investigation to the professionals who clearly see a tall man amidst the black blobs in this image.
