No, the ears do not match. Nor do the eyebrows. This is definitely not the same person.

Just gonna say it one more time. In no way did I say that this is Cap Anson. I didn't see a resemblance to anyone when I first looked at it, but the reverse image search spit out this photo of Anson. After looking at this and other pictures of him, I can't say that it's absolutely ridiculous. So I posted it for RCMcKenzie to investigate further if he wants, but again, I am not making any claims. I have enough on my hands with Knickerbockers and Wrights.

It looks like the purported Wright cabinet photo most likely dates to the early to mid 1890s based on drcy's feedback and the artist's other similar work that I've been able to find online. George Wright was born in 1847, so he would have probably been in his early to mid 40s when this photo was taken. Obviously that doesn't prove that it's him, but if you were to ask me how old I thought the subject in the photo was without any other information, I would have guessed mid 40s.
