Colonel Percival C. Pope appears here in half-length profile, turned to the left and dressed in military uniform, a pose that studio photographers of the period often used for formal officer portraits. The picture dates to about 1901 and was made by J.E. Purdy of Boston, whose copyright notice and the number 2 are printed with it. Portraits like this circulated widely as cabinet cards and in newspapers, giving the public a recognizable face for men of rank during an era when officers held prominent places in civic life.
