Library of Congress says: Abraham Lincoln, candidate for U.S. president. Head-and-shoulders portrait, facing right, June 3, 1860, Springfield, Ill.

Wikipedia says: Lincoln and a Chicago reporter were looking at what is believed to this photo at Lincoln’s home shortly after his nomination for President, when he observed “That picture gives a very fair representation of my homely face.”
