For enthusiasts of early banjo
George Swain Buckley
This is an interesting one George was a banjoist that Converse wrote fondly of. Was one of the first to use a fretted banjo. Yet here is is with a violin.
The most fascinating part is his "costume." Here is the Minstrel depiction of the "Irish." Perhaps the reason for all those "Irish Jigs?"

Could that be a viola? Or maybe George was a wee feller.
