wow this is insane! His jaw doesn’t look sound obviously square and the eyes are clear grey. Plus, the Adam’s apple is visible. That is a much better photo of Brushy. The guy could have been a model

Has anyone seen that pose from Brushy anywhere? Croquet Billy comes to mind.

Is this from Daniel Edwards? Is this the new Billy the kid in Silver City photo? I've never seen it but it definitely looks like it's Billy/ Brushy

I've never seen it but it definitely looks like it's Billy/ Brushy I found the photo on a Billy the Kid Facebook page on one of its very early posts (surprised it didn’t get any attention since it’s the clearest Brushy photo I’ve seen). I sure hope this is not the photo Mr Edwards had intention of releasing. He is a man who has worked tremendously hard and he deserves all the thunder. But hey-ho we could possibly have two great photos of Brushy within the span of a few weeks!

I think it looks like him and it's super high quality and clear.

I have just one word for this. Wow! I haven't tried overlaying my tracing or comparing to the tintype, which I definitely will do, but first glance says these are 100% the same person. Thanks so much Hico1.

You can almost see the aging process take affect here. I'm thinking the new photo is the youngest, then the young brushy photo from Morrison's book shows him a bit older, and then the tintype where he was believed to be around 20 or 21. Points to notice in the comparison above with 27 year old Brushy. The ears are the same and even the inner ear is exactly the same, Yet notice in this comparison, the shape of the bridge of the nose, and the cleft in the chin are the same as the tintype. What is apparent from one photo to the next does vary but that's easily explained by the slightly different angle and the filling out of Billy's face in the tintype, etc. My opinion, this new photo is also the same person in the famous tintype.

Sorry to rain on your parade but who said this was brushy? Where's the provenance?could be another picture of any old Tom, dick or Harry. No proof no substance.

I am probably the worst when it comes to photos, even I can see that's young Brushy, good find! Same chin.

I don't see it. Jaw is not thick enough and the ears are wrong. It may be a relative, but in my opinion that is not Brushy.

Has anyone seen that pose from Brushy anywhere? Croquet Billy comes to mind. Side by side comparison. I replaced Billy’s mouth with Brushy’s in that photo and Billy’s right eye with Brushy’s right eye. I also shortened Billy’s hair. Really is him. in the above photo I just replaced Billy’s mouth with Brushy’s while also keeping Billy’s hair short.
