Ted ZanidakisCloser observation of the different Series Matty cards shows the White Cap version with a fuller face,
heavier eyebrows, slightly larger eyes, and light brown hair....when compared to the Dark Cap version.
These differences may or may not be attributable to different artists; but, simply that American Litho.
worked from different photographs.
The White Cap pose (150 series) was designed circa 1908....while the Dark Cap pose (350/460 series)
was designed in late 1909. With a time interval of about 1 year, it is certainly plausible that they used
a new updated photo to design the Dark Cap version.
