Happy Lincoln and Darwin Day, Everyone

February 12, 1809. Both of them, bicentennial men. It's a great day for secular progressives!
In their honor, a pop quiz! Who are these people we are looking at, in what context?

Without cheating(googling)? Second one is a still from John Ford's "Young Mr. Lincoln"? So that would be Henry Fonda? guessing, not sure.
First one looks a bit like Ed Harris, although that's not him, pretty sure. However if Ed Harris played Darwin in this movie, in the next shot he'd be slamming that bottle against the wall, punching the table or something similarly exciting...

The one on the right is indeed Henry Fonda in Ford's Young Mr. Lincoln (screening today at Film Forum along with the rare and excellent 19th century noir The Tall Target!).
So we're halfway there. Come on, people...
