What was going on in his head when he decided to pose like this? His long front hair’s curled atop instead of slicked back like his contemporaries, not only that but his tie is going sideways too. Cuckoo bird! Did he try to be different? His hair reminds me of Mr. Burghy of the Civil War era. We’ll forgive him. He’s still a cutie!

  In fact I got it for very few coins, believe it or not…I guess the quirkiness of this picture is so subtle it wasn’t picked on. LOL
