In this picture, the financier J. Pierpont Morgan raises a cane toward a photographer, as if to drive him off. Morgan, who led one of the most powerful banking houses in the United States, was known for disliking cameras and often confronted photographers in public. The image was registered for copyright in 1910 by the Montauk Photo Concern, a sign that photographs of prominent men had become a commercial trade by then. Morgan died in 1913, three years later.
