preorder volume 1 of his autobiography. It is finally going to be released 100 years after his death.

Okay, okay. I'm delivering! [Here] (http://imgur.com/a/kzyE8) is the Imagur album with the pictures that I've pulled from the Twain Autobiography. Unfortunately, the picture that you've colorized, and so beautifully, is not in the book. However, I pulled pictures from the late 1800s up to 1907 and I think it would be easier to compare what Samuel Clemens from these different years. In fact, in the pictures from Florence Italy in 1903-1904, he is wearing the same outfit. My guess is that this was taken in his garden with his formal photographs in 1902, but that is open for discussion. I'm still messing with the album (sorry for the sideways pictures). Also, you should check out the book where these images are from, [Autobiography of Mark Twain, Volume 1: The Complete and Authoritative Edition] (http://www.amazon.com/Autobiography-Mark-Twain-Volume-Authoritative/dp/0520267192/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1368402259&sr=8-1&keywords=Mark+Twain+Autobiography), which is just absolutely amazing! Whew, I didn't want to be an OP that didn't deliver!

Edit: [Here is the Imgur album] (http://imgur.com/a/WEtt8) (with descriptions from the book) with the images right side up.

Mark Twain's autobiography is on my reading list and is supposed to be really good.

> The strict instruction that many of these texts remain unpublished for 100 years meant that when they came out, he would be "dead, and unaware, and indifferent," and that he was therefore free to speak his "whole frank mind."

The fact that he insisted the book remain unpublished to 100 years is fascinating to me.

Well

It's on sale at various retailers. It's broken up into I don't know how many volumes.

Mark Twain!

At least, it's on my to-read list. And he's a pretty interesting guy.
