250 Photo Identification

11/27/2002 I am trying to prove that the person in this photograph is the same as one found with an identifying message on the back. One thing that would help is trying to put the clothing into a time frame, and possibly a country. Could anyone help? View the post with its 1 response
251 Photo Identification

11/27/2002 This is the second of the two photos I am trying to prove to be the same person. I think this is a later portrait of the same man. Again, putting the style of dress into a time frame would be a great help. Also, if the style of dress seems to be particular to a country it would be a help. View the post with its 1 response
