  Morphy I knew, had to check the pic’s properties for Lowenthal…
  very formal, from a time when pics like this were uncommon compared with today, very posed.

  Another way would be to right-click on the photo, and when you choose “Save as…”, the photo’s name shows as Morphy_Lowenthal_1858.

  Their clothes look very unconfortable, looks like Lowenthal is about to choke on his neck tie
