Original – Photograph of Abraham Lincoln taken November 8, 1863, weeks before the Gettysberg Address, hence the image being known as the "Gettysberg Portrait".
Reason
It is high-resolution (2,200 × 2,835 px), and captures Abraham Lincoln's likeness better than any other portrait. The Wikipedia caption of the image says "Lincoln’s character was notoriously difficult to capture in pictures, but Alexander Gardner’s close-up portrait, quite innovative in contrast to the typical full-length portrait style, comes closest to preserving the expressive contours of Lincoln’s face and his penetrating gaze."
