The sitter, George Randolph Barse, lived from 1861 to 1938, and this print is a copy made around 1940 for an exhibition at the Library of Congress. The record notes that it was reproduced with permission from the James T. White Co. of New York, a firm that published and sold photographic work, so the image likely descends from an earlier original whose date and photographer are not recorded here. The caption card data is unverified, so the dates and identification should be read as the catalogers' best information. Portraits of private individuals from this period often survive mainly through such copies, which makes the reproduction history itself worth noting.
