Edward Gorey's Doppelganger

While browsing on line, I ran across this unidentified vintage photo of a gentleman who looked more than vaguely familiar. It is not unusual to do a double take when browsing through old photos, finding someone who looks familiar only to be disappointed on a second look. The man in this photograph bears a striking resemblance to Edward Gorey.

Is this a relative of Edward Gorey's from the past? Probably not, but it is fun to compare the two and speculate on their similarities and differences.
