… which means we can date the photo roughly between 1873 and 1893, which is not particularly helpful. Nor can I get any more specific based on what he's wearing.

He is unidentified. I would say that there's something Killigrewish about him — if I hadn't made a New Year's resolution to stop coming up with these theories. It won't last any longer than most New Year's resolutions, I'm sure, but I'd like to keep it through the end of January.
