-I certainly think it's a very real possibility that our portrai was the model for the Droeshout.
But how do we prove that?
I thought, let's have a look and do some comparisons.
So, I went about making my own Photoshops, uh, with a photocopier.
We were comparing the Wadlow and the Droeshout and straight away, I mean, the nose isn't quite right there, I accept that.
But the mouth was, was cause for celebration at the time.
-Today, Steven's cutting and pasting has been replaced by cutting-edge technology.
He used the online Betaface facial recognition software.
It analyzes 101 advanced facial points and use biometric measurement functions.
-As you can imagine, I was, uh, I was quite excited when I saw this.
We got the Droeshout here, the Wadlow here, which this software is showing at 91.2% a match, which is quite remarkable.
We have then the world-famous Chandos at 88% match with the Droeshout.
Wadlows leading the pack there.
I mean, that's-- I was quite staggered.
I was actually quite pleased that it meant my, erm, my cutting and pasting, uh, all those years back wasn't too harebrained after all.
