I do agree--at least for 19th century portraiture and photography. With a few exceptions (Abraham Lincoln and Robert E. Lee both among them, as it happens), I rarely get a strong sense of personality off a 19th century photograph, while in a good portrait you can get it in spades.
I'm being pretty literal with my notion of representative. Personality, for me, doesn't even begin to get captured until photography allows for candids. The artist's impression of a person's personality doesn't feel like anything more than that to me, so what I'm looking for isn't personality, but a real sense of what Historic Person X looked like. Using Ada as my example, even the best portraits of her don't give me as much of a sense of what she looked like as the two photographs I've seen, one taken in her youth, and one closer to the end of her life, after illness and addiction had taken their toll.
