The Knickerbockers -- Now In Living Color!

[SteveS]

I am talking about the hairline. Follow that from ear to ear. The coloring will vary as the program relies on the lighting and type of the original photo. Here is the result of a program that overlays one image over another. It's a perfect fit. Also look at the half-and-half comparisons of Harry and the others above. That is a great way to see how well the features match.

Ok.

This is my last post on this thread.

I will not be reading any comments after I post this one.

Best regards,
Doug

Thank you, Doug! Even though we disagree, I appreciate that you looked and gave your input. For those who are still reading these posts, I am including a side-by-side comparison of Harry in my stereoview with a known photo of him from circa 1872 (approximately 15 years after mine). This will help compare the stance and body features. Again, the coloring is at the whim of the program and affected by factors in the black and white original. This can be seen in the two pictures I posted above of Edward Anthony. In one, his hair is a light-brown. In the other, it's almost jet black. Yet both are verified photos of him and in museums.

At the risk of opening a whole new can of worms, I also wanted to share this tintype which I believe depicts Doc Adams and Charles S. DeBost. I feel that it also helps to confirm those IDs in the stereoview. Here are side-by-side and half-and-half comparisons to the known photos of each man, as well as comparisons to the stereoview. Again, the coloring is at the whim of the program, and I understand that the images may not appear with the same clarity depending on the device. As always, you be the judge -- no person is more qualified than anyone else to render an opinion as to whether two people look alike. One other very interesting thing: The last picture shows the back of the tintype. It is part of a page from an old periodical of the time called "Anthony's Photographic Bulletin." It was published by Edward Anthony. The very same Edward Anthony who was a Knickerbocker and whom I believe is pictured in the stereoview above.

I'll have whatever he's smoking.

Thanks for making my eyes hurt and giving me a headache.

Steve I went through your pictures and I see many more differences than similarities. The side by side points out clear differences in eye and nose shapes. And unfortunately the differences I believe prove the negative. That this is not a stereoview if the Knickerbockers.
