A 19th Century Waldo

This top-hatted Waldo found himself lurking in front of many a house in western New York.

Browsing through those 1870s county histories for New York and I discovered this guy, a kind of 19th century Waldo, was a frequent stand-in for the artist. Some amazing sketch work in these volumes by the way.
