Wagner photo description:
‘Late 1890’s to early 1900’s Honus Wagner cabinet card. Allegheny publisher. Pre dates the T206. Same pose. Honus Wagner had large ears that were different sizes. An angled face was a way to hide the fact. Photographers used and I’m sure still use angles to hide features. That is why you only usually see certain angles of peoples faces in studio photographs.’
