Because that’s where it was originally posted. Not all of Reddit’s content is aggregated, a lot is where it was first posted.

Interesting viewing, but my historian wife working on her PhD says: “If you change how Lincoln looked, you change his experience of the civil war. Historians have learned about his stress through the images that have been captured during the four years of his presidency because he aged so dramatically.” She is worried that in 200 years people may use this as a judgement regarding our culture and the plasticization of our history. “We want everything to be perfect instead of real. This is the origins of myth.”

as a photoprinter the b/w always had a flavor of authenticity and finality, mayb because I’m from the color generation. The work now seems to have a enduring statement and soul especially the monk and the Nick ut photo of the head shot. I’d hate to see the other vietnam photo of the little girl running from the nepalm bomb attack on her villiage…..You’ve brought my favorite president back to life! great work!

Why would you credit an aggregator? Extra level of indirection that isn’t related to the content.

Thank you Jesus! I had a friend send me that imgur.com link to me so I wasn’t sure it was from Reddit at all. I went back and credited reddit in the post.

I like both the B & W and color but the Lincoln image moves him out of the history books. Suddenly he’s not an icon but an older man. An older man with the weight of the world clearly on his shoulders.
