How old does he look to you?

Unfortunately, no Rh factor was provided:

Micozzi noted that precedence for testing specimens had been established more than thirty years before convening the panel, when Col. Joseph Akeroyd, M.S.C., U.S. Army, was able to identify President Lincoln’s blood as Type A from bloodstains on the cuffs of Dr. Woodward, one of Lincoln’s attending physicians. Further, the autopsy specimens had been on exhibit at the museum for several decades, suggesting that the line of Lincoln’s privacy had already been crossed. Commenting on the panelists’ conclusions, and drawing on contemporary biomedical debate, Micozzi observed that “without a living will and without legal heirs, the courts may attempt to reconstruct what the patient’s wishes might have been, based upon evidence of the patient’s attitudes, beliefs and behaviors in related matters.”

Are most British Royals and U.S. Presidents Rh negative?

    Lincoln looks tired and unwell in that photo. He was under tremendous strain during his time in the White House, feeling it his duty to preserve the union as intended by the founders, and as commander in chief he was intially burdened with inept generals and losses on the Union side, although that tide was turning in 1864. In 1862 one of his young sons died in the White House which by all accounts he took especially hard, as did his wife Mary. It is believed he suffered from poor health throughout his presidency. 54 looks younger in our modern age, generally speaking, but he literally had the weight of the world on his shoulders.
