The record names the sitters as Paymaster Rodgers and Mr. Lasiers, which places this portrait among the Navy and government-official photographs in the Detroit Publishing Company's collection. A navy paymaster handled the pay, accounts and supplies that kept ships and shore stations running, so the pairing points to the administrative side of naval life rather than to ships or battles. The 8 by 10 inch glass negative carries the company's own catalog number, and the 1901 catalog entry is the main clue to when it was made.
