Frederick Townsend Martin (1849-1948) sits for this portrait, a photograph dated around May 25, 1908, and the print was copyrighted by Theodore C. Marceau. Martin was a New York man of wealth and leisure who moved in fashionable society, and he later drew wide attention as a writer, most notably with *The Passing of the Idle Rich* (1911), which criticized the class he had belonged to. The date comes from an unverified caption card, so it is best read as approximate.
