Henry Chadwick did have a house on Long Island in Noyac (I too have a house in Noyac) which was near Little Trout Pond, so he may indeed have liked to fish. But as Mark said the picture is tiny and his face is entirely covered by a beard. Similarities with Chadwick for sure, but no way you can simply say it is him. Provenance would be very important here.

Barry,
You are dead on... I also know I have read some stories about him fishing in other places. Provenance could be huge here, it would be nice to here back from the original poster? I would also like to see the rest of the tin-type. It looks like it is in a hinged case and could have another picture on the other side??? A back image of the whole thing would be nice as well.

Wow - I'm guessing you do photo ID for one of the major auction houses.
I could perhaps point out the completely different appearance of his right nostril, or the different angle of the front edge of his nose, or that the real Chadwick nose sticks out way farther - I could draw arrows, do an overlay, etc., but I doubt that would help you.

Or... You could point out that "you are comparing a fuzzy image to another fuzzy image - pretty worthless."
Wait, you already have... Last edited by smokelessjoe; 05-07-2009 at 02:52 PM.

Your response was non-responsive - so I guess you agree with my previous post.
I will respond to your comment. First of all, when you quote me, you should include the entire quote - which said that even though the image was fuzzy - the nose did not look quite right. Fuzzy images are often worthless for confirming an identity with high reliability, but they can be useful in showing it is not someone - if there is a feature that retains enough integrity to show that it's outline or basic shape is different than that of a confirmed photo of the person in question. In any case, I never imagined anyone would actually say that the noses looked similar. Last edited by bmarlowe1; 05-07-2009 at 03:20 PM.

Mark-
Surely in this instance you aren't thinking that either image has a feature retaining enough integrity to confirm any characteristic is in fact different. The image on the left you can't get anything out of.
