[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 32398, member: 59"]I'm not so sure that the one ear (on his left, our right) is smaller than the other. I think the bottom part is just a lighter coloration that the upper part. I was able to zoom to 250% and I'm pretty sure the earlobe is there amongst all the black spots. But wowza, those veins! :wideyed: A blood pressure issue? He looks uncommonly tall (unless that's a trick of the angle.) As to the guy in the middle, I think that was the typical boxer costume before 1900 (and perhaps even after for a while.) But I believe there are more options - "strong man" and sword swallower come to mind for carnivals and the midway at the circus. Of course that begs the question of what the third guy in his normal dress and no obvious accoutrements of a carnival or circus performer has to do with the others.[/QUOTE]
