"I have compared this with earlier portraits of JG Tunny and believes that this is in fact a photo of  J G Tunny."

Julian added:

"I am of the opinion that this photo is definitely of James G. Tunny.  He is the same person as appears in the family group in this photo:

Judging by the greyness of his hair and beard, I believe he may have been about age 55 when this photo was taken.  He was born in April 1920, so the photo may have been taken around 1870s."

Comment 3:

"Julien appears to be close with his estimated date for this photo.  The addresses of the studios on the back of this carte de visite suggest that the photo would have been taken between 1871 and 1874."
