Is this Isidore Ducasse?

 

Travelling through the internet, I found this picture on a Maldoror website. I understood that there was only one picture ever taken of the fellow and that is the close up portrait as featured on our Lautréamont page. If you know anything about this picture or have knowledge of any other picture out there please email us at maldoror@spc.org and I will publish your pictures and answers below...

 

 

MALDOROR'S WEBMISTRESS SAYS:
No way. So he has the same flat bit of hair in the front but that could just have
been the fashionable look of the day. Ducasse was tall and thin, this chap looks
sporty...he hasn't the edgy desperation of a genius. Besides, I can't imagine
Isidore Ducasse stuffing his hands in his pockets.

Duncan Reekie, Falmouth, Cornwall, UK says:
I think it is him.. is it the same picture as the head and shoulders portrait?

Clive from My Eyes My Eyes, London says:
Nah. Nah nah... this character is too much of a dude...

Susan Turi in Paris says:
It's a fake!
