This half-length portrait shows James Cox Davis in profile, turned to the right, a pose that was common in formal studio portraits of the period. The record dates his life from 1857 to 1937 and places the print in the 1920s, so the picture likely captures him in his later years. Portraits from this decade were often made as keepsakes or for publication, and their composition, lighting and clothing can reveal a good deal about how public figures wanted to be seen. The record does not name the photographer or the occasion, so the image is best read as a direct record of the man's appearance in that era.
