The photograph shows William Fox at full length, facing the camera as he walks out of the federal courthouse in Philadelphia. The record dates it to 1941 and links the subject to the film executive born in 1879, who founded the Fox Film Corporation. By then Fox had lost control of the studio he built, and he was facing a series of legal battles that made courthouse appearances like this one newsworthy. The picture is a useful record of a famous figure caught in a difficult public moment.
