Peter--

I've also remarked that he looks much older in his T209 card. That photo was taken in 1910 and probably by a local photographer either in Danville, or a nearby studio. The other three are from the same photo most likely taken in 1909.

I think, too, that since the T206, T210 and E222 are lithographs and don't show the details of his face, the litho presents a softer and younger looking subject. Hence, he doesn't look quite as old as his 29 years. The real photograph used for his T209 card shows more of his facial details, and that may be the reason he appears older. His image has not been softened by the litho process. BTW, he died in 1929 at 49.

Cheers, Mike
