        @BeschlossDC @dugcman So, 174 years later, can we declare “selfies” as outdated and “so 1839?”

        @BeschlossDC You could see that guy in any bar today. A reminder that 174 years later, the times may change, people (human nature) does not.

        @BeschlossDC None of the early conventions of portrait photography had been established yet, so the photo ignores them, and seems modern.

        @BeschlossDC nice looking man. Hair style has come back in fashion. "Nothing new under the sun" Well...maybe just in fashion.

        @BeschlossDC What a treasure! His posture looks like that of a person taking a self-portrait on a smart phone.
