If true, why would he make a special stop to have his photograph taken? Would this be "normal behavior" for a Confederate operative traveling to Virginia?

Yes, I wonder, too. Despite I think like Gene - those weren't the days of digital snapshots on the way from the barber shop to the train station in disguise. And if he were in disguise I think it would have been somewhat more than just this hat and suit.

I don't think he privately owned such clothing, ever wore anything not matching his style, not even to bow to convenience.

Finally - ears and nose are not congruent to my eyes, and no disguise attempt could change these (back then).
