Lizzie Borden’s Eyes

My recent find of the Emma Borden photograph has sparked some interesting discussion on the Lizzie Borden Society Forum.

But one of things I adore about this image is that the lighting was such that we get a clearer view of her eyes. The older Emma photograph that we know shows a dark and sad Emma—dark eyes, I mean.

The new one shows eyes that are remarkably like her sister Lizzie. Don’t you think?

Emma is on the top of the photo, Lizzie the bottom. Family resemblance?
