Who is that mysterious, elegant man? And why is he sitting on a dead horse?
Such are the questions sparked by a black-and-white photograph taken in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, between 1876 and 1884 that has led to nationwide curiosity, speculation and jokes. The picture is spreading on the Internet and is spawning many questions.
