Interesting article. Makes more sense for the right head tilt if he had LSO paresis. Very cool stuff! I wonder how many other historical world figures can be seen with subtle disorders like this?

I'm not sure if your first sentence is fully comprehended. Other's confirm Lincoln's hypertropia. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9083959

The reason his left eye seems to look up is simply this… his face goes left, and his head tilts right.
I believe his eyes would be more impacted by the position of his head (they’re attached to the brain) than of his face position and thus his eyes tilt with his head.
Look at the ears too. tilted

I’m not sure why he’d want to tilt his head to the right to make the left hypertropia worse. Seems like when he leans his head on his left hand in the other picture above, he’d be more comfortable. HaHa…That crazy Abe!

The colorized photo makes the photos look even more realistic, showing that he indeed was a real person who once walked this earth. The colors used are very natural looking.
