This portrait is catalogued under William P. Bishop's military service, and the imprint names the Washington firm B.F. Johnson, Inc. as its publisher. The record dates it only to a span between 1870 and 1910, so the exact year and the circumstances of the sitting are not known. Studio portraits from these decades were often made for veterans, officers and their families, who kept them as keepsakes or sent them to relatives. Commercial firms in Washington, a city full of government and military personnel, produced many such images, which makes this print a useful glimpse of how service members were recorded in that era.
