<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 41098, member: 33&quot;]Emerson was born in 1803. Carte de visite photographs with rounded corners such as the second one were starting to be used in approximately 1870 -- before that they had square corners and often a stripe or two around the edge, similar to the first and third photos above. So the second one, while it looks a bit like Emerson, would not be him since he was in his late 60s when that card stock was first used.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only photo of Emerson I&#039;ve found where he was not clean shaven appears on this page:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://sacredappetite.com/2012/03/emerson-and-the-calf-or-one-good-reason-kids-refuse-to-eat/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://sacredappetite.com/2012/03/emerson-and-the-calf-or-one-good-reason-kids-refuse-to-eat/" rel="nofollow">http://sacredappetite.com/2012/03/emerson-and-the-calf-or-one-good-reason-kids-refuse-to-eat/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>... And now that I&#039;m looking a bit more, that is Henry David Thoreau in my link above.&nbsp; <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_David_Thoreau" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_David_Thoreau" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_David_Thoreau</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Fig[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
