Exhibition

Sepia-toned photos of two men taken in the late 1800s. On the left is Captain Moonlite: his hair is slicked back, he sports a full beard, and he has piercing eyes. On the right is James Nesbitt: considerably younger than Moonlite, he stares directly at the camera with a somewhat sad expression. He has large ears and a dimpled chin; his clothes are also plainer than Moonlite's suggestive of his working class origins.
