Description
A 1/2 portrait taken by Manhattan Studio, 29 1/2 Tremont St., "opp. Boston Museum," likely around the turn of the 20th century. The subject is identified as Willis Longley. He wears a three piece suit with enamel lapel pin, diamond-point bowtie, and high, stiff collar. He is cleanshaven and his hair severely parted and combed. This may be Willis Leroy Longley of Milford, ME, born 1873, though that might place the date of the photograph around the late 19th rather than early 20th century.
