When I went to Sotheby's three times to gaze at the Franklin Expedition daguerreotypes...

behold my Mid Victorian Long Hair collection, I found these sitting in my "reference" folder and thought y'all would enjoy seeing some Real Life Examples of what Torrington's "long brown hair" might've looked like

Alright, i may be crazy, but look

they’re both wearing the same coat (Fitzjames lent Fairholme his for the picture)

There’s actually another picture of each of them

now look at the SLEEVES

using this table (which I tested out with my brother for scale: he’s about half a foot taller than me, but his forearm’s only about 2cm longer than mine)

This is by no means exact, (and please correct me if I’m wrong) but I think it’s very probable that Fairholme was something like half a foot (at least!!) taller than Fitzjames
