Is this Robert E. Lee?

[10th Michigan Infantry]

I saw someone claiming this was a photograph of Robert E. Lee online. I see some similarities, but the beard throws it off in my opinion. Anyways, I just thought I'd throw it out there.

 

[Pollaco]

I would say "nope".

 

[R. Porter]

Not unless he got an ear and nose transplant.

 

[Nathan Stuart]

In my view, would say definitely 'no'. Below is Lee's image for comparison. (Thought the nose and mouth notably differ).

 

[scooter748driver]

[RaggedAssSecond]

No.

 

[Seduzal]

Not even close!

Was sceptical until i closely examined the ties- they are a perfect match.

It's a yes for me…..

You should ask for a better photo. From what I see here, I say no.
