Knickerbocker Photo (Update)

[Snowman]

While I definitely can't claim that I'm 100% convinced, I will say that the resemblances in numerous facial features across the group is pretty remarkable. I'm definitely leaning toward yes, this is a photo of the Knickerbockers based on the resemblances alone. The 1862 photo is completely hacked together though. Legs are drawn on, torsos cut and pasted, shadows on different angles of the faces, etc. The subjects in that photo could have been taken across a pretty broad timeline, I would argue. There are at least 4 of the 6 that to me look almost like dead ringers.

That said, I'm also intrigued by the historical aspect of the photography used during that time and respect the knowledge of those who have studied it, as well as the history of the attire and where that might place this photo timeline-wise.
