From documented photographs, I've seen crisp edge ups like that from earlier than the 1880s

@Supper @xoxodede , you got any interesting pictures to add?

I remember I saw two photos of My aunt(my mom's sister). and she had on one or I think both these hair styles. She was lighter then both of them, but I think the latter pic is closer to her skintone so she looks closer if not almost like my Aunt.​

One of the Muse Brothers lived from 1892 all the way to 2001....Breh actually lived long enough to witness three centuries

Breh lived through the Spanish-American War, two World Wars, the Harlem Renaissance, the Great Depression, the Cold War/Atomic Age, the Civil Rights Movement, the anti-Apartheid movement in South Africa, the second boom of Afram culture from the 70’s to the 90’s, the devastation of the Crack Era, the 1992 LA Riots, the rise of Michael Jackson, the rise of Hip Hop, Y2K, and an entirely new millennium (don’t know if he passed before or after 9/11 tho). Breh had an incredibly long ass life...Had to have been 108 or 109 when he transitioned to the next life
