So, someone on eBay from The Thanatos Archive found a vintage 1870 picture of a man from Bristol, TN. This man bears an uncanny resemblence to Nick Cage! It’s unreal! Check the quote from the page, which has since been taken down:

Original c.1870 carte de visite showing a man who looks exactly like Nick Cage. Personally, I believe it’s him and that he is some sort of walking undead / vampire, et cetera, who quickens / reinvents himself once every 75 years or so. 150 years from now, he might be a politician, the leader of a cult, or a talk show host.

 

This is not a trick photo of any kind and has not been manipulated in Photoshop or any other graphics program. It’s an original photo of a man who lived in Bristol, TN sometime around the Civil War.

 

For the many of you insisting that this is a Photoshop manipulation: Any serious potential buyer will be allowed to have a photo expert of their choice examine the original photograph before any money changes hands.

 

I’ve had a lot of questions asking where I purchased this. As followers of my website know, I collect antique memorial photography – images of dead people – from the 1800s. This photo was found in the very back of album that contained an unusual number of Civil War era death portraits (which is why I purchased it). All of
the other people in the album, living and dead, were identified by name – this man was not.

I don’t know what to think. Fair or Foul?
