1888 Joseph Hall Cabinet and Possibly Related Real Photo Postcard

You're probably right, although there is a big difference between the "f" in the first PSA example, and the ones in the last example.

No further thoughts from anyone?

Here is a cut from a different Jos Hall photo that was enlarged a bit more. I am leaning to it not looking like him but maybe someone with better identification skills will know more.

It's an odd thing for a famous person to write on the back of a postcard. I might write it on the back of a group picture that I was in, but Jeff Bagwell would write something like "Here I am with the gang."

Does not look like Ward to me

I don't know if anybody mentioned it, but the writing on the back of the postcard is modern ballpoint pen. I doubt the writing is more than 20 years old.
