Man from Lisbon...
I find this photo very strange…
The man looks like he was caught by the camera closing his eyes which is normal now a days, but in that time the exposure was too long to capture him with closed eyes isn’t that right?
Sometimes i think it is a post mortem photograph but that wasn’t very common in Portugal.
Does anyone has a good clue?
He could have a lazy eye. Love that moustache!
Haha yes it could be...
That moustache is tipical portuguese...
I agree he has strange eyes.
It doesn't look like a PM.

possibly blind. not unusual for the blind to have portraits made. later in the 1900s photos were combined with pleas for sympathy or patronage.
Yes he could be blind i didnt think of that possibility...Thanks everyone!
