A studio portrait of John Emerson Moss, whose record gives his birth year as 1913, carries the imprint of Sirlin Studios of Sacramento, California, though the caption card records no date for the sitting. Commercial studios in the state capital made portraits like this for families, schools and local occasions through much of the twentieth century, and a photoprint was a durable, economical way to produce copies. Because the record is undated and its data has not been verified, the sitter's age and the year the picture was made remain open questions, and the birth year is the firmest detail the card offers.
