He turns up again!!! (I'll explain...)
I have nearly a dozen images of this man in my collection - found in all different places - ebay mostly (different sellers), and photo shows. I've seen a few more on ebay that I bid on but didn't win. The man is always surrounded by 4 or 5 different school-age girls, and the images are taken in the same studio setting (although at apparently different times, judging from his beard). My best guess is that he is a headmaster of a girl's school, Sunday School superintendent, or perhaps the head of an orphanage or charitable organization. On the back of one of my CDVs is written a name - Mr. Isaac Brady. He's a mystery to me - I'm hoping to find out who he was, and who all the girls might have been. I'll have to dig these out and scan them.
