This bottom photograph was taken the summer of 1978 (...I''ll give you this one: this was the year that Jethro Tull released "Heavy Horses" and "Bursting Out") in Pittsburgh while I was caricaturing at some outdoor festival. I remember that my face was pretty sunburned.
I was more than willing to slap down some of my freshly hard-earned money to have this Civil War picture taken. I've always been a Civil War Nut. However, in retrospect besides being Confederate, it is pretty "farby" (as in "far be it from accurate").
The top photograph was taken much more recently and is much more "period correct".
What you can't tell, however, is that in both photographs I am wearing blue jeans.
