Head shape, eye shape, hairstyles, and even sometimes letter styles are all little signals that can give you hints if you see enough examples. I&#039;d recommend searching acsearch for the person and reverse legend and looking at a lot of examples. Right away, you&#039;ll start noticing the different styles... especially for this era.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
