RE: JWB photo - yes or no?
To compare apples to apples you need to see a known picture of Booth without a mustache. To my knowledge, there is only one. It comes from the Booth Brothers picture which includes JWB, Junius Brutus Booth Jr., and Edwin. I cropped the other two out of this, and tried to blow it up as much as possible without losing too much distinction. Comparing the two, as much as is possible, leads me to believe that the picture in question is in no way Booth.
