This bust portrait shows Ira C. Copley in profile, turned to the right, a pose common in formal studio portraits of his era. Copley, a newspaper publisher from Aurora, Illinois, built a regional press business and later served in the U.S. House of Representatives. The caption card gives no date, so the photograph's exact year is unknown, but its style fits the early twentieth century, when such portraits were often used for public figures in newspapers and official records.
