Title: Is this the same man? (Swiss photo)
Post by: sylphide500 on Saturday 04 November 23 20:08 GMT (UK)
I have two family photographs, taken in Switzerland in the early 1900s.
Can someone please have a look at the man in the photograph?
I'd like to find out if it is the same man in both of the photographs.
Thank you
Marianne

It's a "probably" from me; either him or a close relative with very similar looks.

Same features, hairstyle, and face shape.
Looks to be the same person

I agree - probably the same person or close relation.

Yes (or an identical twin!)

Thanks all! I thought so too - just trying to convince a cousin  :)

I’d say 95% sure, the similar slope of the browbone/eyebrows and the depth of the eyes is very similar.
Sometimes it’s harder to recognise similarities in your own kin, much easier in unknown people :)
