This portrait shows John Wilkes Hammond, who lived from 1837 to 1921, so he was in his late seventies when the photograph was dated to about November 19, 1915. That date comes from a caption card the Library has not verified. Portraits from this period were usually made in studios, with the sitter posed against plain backdrops, and they were often kept for family, professional, or civic records. The record offers little beyond his name and dates, so the picture is most useful as a document of an older American man photographed during the First World War.
