The sitter is listed as Felix Alder, a spelling that likely refers to Felix Adler (1851-1933), the German-born American educator who founded the Society for Ethical Culture in New York in 1876. The record dates the print to about 1898, a period when Adler was building his reputation as a lecturer and reformer who urged moral education apart from religious doctrine. The catalog's bracketed title suggests the name was supplied or unconfirmed, so the identification is worth checking against other sources. The portrait offers a glimpse of a figure who shaped debates over ethics, schooling, and social reform in turn-of-the-century America.
