gone but not forgotten
I am currently sorting out my boxes of stuff and found this photo. This shows a section from a cabinet photograph - a format first introduced about 1866 so there is a clue. This print probably dates fron the late 1860s but the photo was probably taken a few years before.
I know who it is, do you?

Sorry Wendy, not a George Dawson. He does look like George but I put that down to fashion or they avoided the same barber. They quite likely knew one another, however.
