As I recall when the photo was originally discussed, I thought the photo itself was too modern for the subject. The photo appears original and antique, but perhaps is from the 1910s-20s rather than the 1890s. Duly note that I'm going by my memory (which perhaps can play tricks) and don't see the whole photo here. I'd want to see the mount to give a better opinion of date.
None the less, I don't think the guy shown here looks like Wagner. Though there is a resemblance.
