Descriptive Object

Identifier:
OBJ.N.1989.180
Description
A 1/2 portrait taken by Perry Studio, with locations in Bangor, Old Town, and Millinocket, Maine, likely around the turn of the 20th century. The subject is identified as C. W. Sleeper by an inset, printed card and the picture signed "Sincerely Charles." This is likely a graduation photo, based on the age of the subject and quality of the inset card's paper. Several Charles W. Sleepers are recorded to have lived in the area; this photo may have been taken as late as 1928-30 if this is actually the C. W. S. born in 1910. Regardless, the man in the photo wears a suit and striped necktie. He is cleanshaven with his hair combed back.
