Well, according to Wikipedia, "Beginning in 1866, he spent two years at the high-school age boarding school of the University of Notre Dame after being sent there by his father in hopes of curtailing his mischievousness." If that's true, then 1867 makes sense. Hopefully all the face matching experts can take a look and tell if it's Anson.

That's not an original image.

I have seen this one before. Anson is not there.

I'm curious why you all are sure Anson isn't there, and why Rob thinks it isn't an original image.

We had this discussion back in 2011 when this was in Mile Hi, and I'm still not convinced it is not Anson. Back then I had additional information to share, but no one appeared interested so I kept it to myself. I've asked the seller for enlarged scans of two players in the photo, which could seal the deal for me.

But of course, if you are certain it's not Anson, and Rob is certain it's not an original image, then I'm wasting my time, as I certainly respect the opinions of both of you.

I am most interested in this question of originality. As many were, I was considering bidding on it, even as only an original photo (without Anson). It's a great image.

Wait, the fella right behind the priest is supposed to be Anson?
