And his shirt! That was the detail that seemed to me most jarring---the cut and style look quite current. (The pants, seen in some of the other photos at the google link, not so much.)

I had the exact same feeling, but felt too fashion-challenged to mention it. I guess 19th century convict clothes have made a comeback.

It's an illusion, because the other photos of him all have clear archaic markers. But what an illusion.
