I never said that they did not resemble eachother (in fact they kind of did) nor did I say anything about the ears. I did say, "...First of all you are comparing a fuzzy image to another fuzzy image - pretty worthless. BTW - if you compare the nose to a clear Chadwick semi-profile image - it doesn't seem quite right. But again - the tintype is too fuzzy to be sure about anything."
I asked Mr. Rogers to post a better scan (what was posted was only 100 dpi). He declined.
Sloppy reporting. He did get the pencil thing right.

Mark the nice thing about Peter is he doesn’t let a little thing like facts get in the way of a good story.
