Tboor74 have you seen the picture on p.169 supposed to be Billy? Looking at it, it looks very much like him( he looks to be the same guy on the tintype). I tried to post it here but Im having a hard time doing it. If you can try to post it from your side it would be nice, Ill try again tomorrow morning. In order to attach photos you need to switch from mobile version to desktop version. You'll find the switch for that in the lower right corner of the page.

Am I the only one that thinks that he looks like Billy on the famous tintype?

Im not convinced. There are some level of similarity sure, but not enough from what I can see. This guy looks more like he is a bit deformed or inbred? The jaw is way bigger than Billys I think.

Thanks for the reply Ron, it was found in 1983, the provenance of it was not mentionned in the book.

<button disabled="" class="c-attachment-insert--linked o-btn--sm">Attachment Deleted</button> Ty Ron Am I the only one that thinks that he looks like Billy on the famous tintype? I must admit that of all the photos I have seen, not very many have ever intrigued me to the point that I spend much time looking at them. We all view things differently and when I see people comment on pictures that, in my mind, are nowhere at all a match I usually realize that it is me and I have trouble recognizing people in old photos. This picture made me pause. I am a little surprised others have not commented and again realize it is likely just me. However, to the point, I do think this picture is a resemblance. It intrigues me to the point that I matched up the pupillary distances, distance to top of nostrils, distance to bottom of nose, top of upper lip, center of mouth, bottom lip, chin, width of mouth and distance to the eyebrows (all referenced from the centerline of the pupils). They seem to be as close as uncertainty allows for. This means nothing at all, of course, but it is interesting. The provenance of that photo would be something to try to research, perhaps a dead end. So to answer your question, no, you are not the only one that thinks there is a resemblance. There are just you and me .

That same photo is on the cover of the book “The Capture of Billy the Kid” by James H. Earle pub 1988, maybe there is information in that book about the cover
