Hamline Liner, 1925
John C. Ralston, who I do not know from Adam, has done ink, pencil, and watercolor sketches of everyone in the 1925 Hamline University Liner yearbook, which is exceedingly random, as Hamline is my undergrad alma mater and I found the link on kottke.
Ralston has both blogged the illustrations sequentially, and also collected them in a Flickr photoset.
These would make outstanding character portraits for Call of Cthulhu convention character sets. (For personal use, of course.)

Personal use? Go ahead. Don't know which of them would be the Cthulhu-est, though.
Probably the best portraits to inspire CoC characters would be the ones that look the most normal. Thinking about it that way, it almost doesn't matter which ones you'd wind up using.
Well, if you do anything with them, please keep it for personal use. And, I'm curious to see it, and not in an evil proprietary way.
