This illustrated biography of the 16th president of the United States was originally a companion volume to a historic television documentary. It includes recreated images of Lincoln and his contemporaries from photographs, daguerreotypes, prints and cartoons of the day.
For many years, America's favorite magazine signed off with an amusing -- often outrageous -- photograph designed to leave the reader laughing. LIFE Laughs Last collects more than 200 of these hilarious photographs -- every one guaranteed to warm your heart and tickle your funny bone. Continuing in the zany, whimsical tradition of the best-selling LIFE Smiles Back, here is more from LIFE's lighter people and pets by the score, caught by the camera in surprising, side-splitting poses. These rib-tickling photographs were submitted over the years by LIFE's loyal readers, and are assembled here by one of LIFE's most renowned editors.
