Ask about licensing or this print

Seated at a desk and turned toward the camera, Thomas Miller appears in this half-length portrait in the direct, formal manner common to studio work of the period. The print carries the copyright mark of Underwood & Underwood, a commercial photography firm known for stereoviews and other pictures that circulated widely in the early and mid-twentieth century. The catalog classifies the sitter among government employees, a group photographers often portrayed as agencies grew. The record gives no further details about Miller's position or the occasion, so the desk setting is worth noticing as a hint at everyday office work.
