Joseph Medill Patterson is the subject here, and this view shows him as a bust rather than as a living sitter, which sets it apart from the studio portraits on this board. Patterson was a Chicago newspaperman and a grandson of Joseph Medill, the longtime editor of the *Chicago Tribune*, and he later co-founded the *New York Daily News*. The Moffett Studio, a Chicago firm, made the image, and it came into the Bain News Service files that the Library of Congress now holds. The record's title comes from unverified caption data, so the exact details of the work are worth checking against other sources.
