      Looks like seldom is.

      What led you to Cassidy? You say “early”— when was the photo taken?

      I'm not sure on date of photo based on clothes and the other photos I purchased probably 1870s era what led me to Butch Cassidy is I saw a photo of him when he was around 20 and there is a resemblance of him with this photo.

      I always associate BC with a strong, square jawline- don’t see it here.

      I am not familiar with the comparison photo used— is it historically accepted?
      Source?

      MAY be a case of a looks like another looks like?

      BC was born in 1866, so that would make him about 14 or younger— doesn’t seem to fit with what I see.

      Here is a posting that I did a few years ago on this website:

      Hope that you find it useful.
