A belated thank you for stopping by!<br /><br />It would indeed be fun to know whose fashion statement this was. Even now, though, I have no clue who this young man was. Hopefully, some day a relative will stumble upon this photograph and leave a comment. I had that happen once before--after a six month long wait. Patience is definitely the needed virtue here.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-895564723972009252012-09-16T18:31:15.769-07:002012-09-16T18:31:15.769-07:00Funny you mention this.

I'll have to revisit that comparison of the originals in some good lighting.<br /><br />I'm not as experienced with the history angle on these photographs as you are, Far Side, but I thought this was a cabinet card. The dimensions are approximately 4 1/4" by 6 1/2" on a sturdy card backing.<br /><br />Well, if this is our Will again, he certainly has a liking for double-breasted jackets ;)Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-87658772460490771442012-09-15T22:09:17.593-07:002012-09-15T22:09:17.593-07:00Possibly this is the same "Will" as the ...Possibly this is the same "Will" as the other photo? Just a younger photo? is this photo card a CdV? It looks like one..is it the size of a wallet photo? The striped socks date to before 1900...as does the double breasted jacket. I want to say 1878- 1880. :) Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-32060982588657405342012-09-12T11:00:03.744-07:002012-09-12T11:00:03.744-07:00Love the socks!

It's at the bottom of the card (you can see bits of it at the bottom of the scan). Nothing else is written on the card, and that would be an odd place to put it--even if I could pull off the paper!Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-11524554697310460252012-09-12T09:25:53.325-07:002012-09-12T09:25:53.325-07:00Wow lucky you to receieve such a treasure.

I do hope you find a clue to his identity. I'm sure you've been studying his features and comparing them to photos of adults.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.com
