Knickerbocker Photo (Update)

No way that guy is George Wright. Look at the closeup and you can easily see the bridge of their nose is completely different, with Wright's being much more flat/square (as seen in all of the other known pictures as well).

Also the grey haired version of Wright has MORE hair on the top of his head than the supposed pic of him when he was younger. And it doesn't appear as though he is wearing a toupee either.

So your theory is that the known photos of Wright in his older years show that he magically regrew some hair on top despite the other younger known photos of him clearly showing him as being completely bald up top in his middle-ages. Got it. Thanks for your input.

Now what was it you were saying about those identical noses being "completely different"?

You do realize that the light sources of the two close-up nose photos are in different locations, right?

I do realize the lighting is different. It still doesn't change the bridge of his nose significantly in either pic.

Either way I'm done here. I have better things to do than argue with delusional, self aggrandizing idiots who are trying to take random photographs from 150 years ago and turn them into something they are not and instantly start pumping out insults if you don't agree with their nonsensical conclusions.

If you're going to be a condescending dick when people contradict you, why ask/participate in the first place?

Confirmation bias at its finest.

Ah yes, I'm the one who's biased here lol. You just want so badly for this to be someone other than who it so clearly is that you're magically seeing hair on the top of his head as a septuagenarian when he quite clearly lost it decades prior in the other photos. Those two noses in the close up are EXACTLY THE SAME. EXACTLY. Not similar. Not somewhat close. CLONES of one another.
