GREAT BEARD DISCOVERED IN MYSTERY TOWN, NEW YORK
This Cabinet Card is the newest addition to the “Beards (Only the Best)” category. This fine gentleman has a large beard and note his longish hair styled to cover his bald spot. Is that a mullet he’s sporting. The subject is identified as Dr Henry Hamley or Hawley. The photographer is F. M. Foster of Moila, New York.
