DescriptionMystery portrait, 1954.jpg |
English: Mystery portrait from the Seattle Municipal Archives (City Light Photographic Negatives), 1954. The photographer labeled this as "Hocam at The Mountain." "Hocam" apparently meant nothing to the archivist who uploaded it to Flickr. The mountain in the middle ground is Mount Rainier; the mountain in the distance is a pre-eruption Mount St. Helens. I strongly suspect that the mountain background is not actually in the same visual space as the man: the angle requires an aerial vessel, and this doesn't seem like any window you'd find on such a vessel. So I (Wikimedia Commons uploader Jmabel) believe it is a mounted photo on a wall and that the black strip is it the shadow of the mounted photo. Item 168539, City Light Photographic Negatives (Record Series 1204-01), Seattle Municipal Archives. Seattle Municipal Archives changed its URL scheme circa 2022; the older URLs beginning with "clerk" are deprecated, and will eventually fail. The following search should find item number 168539 in their new database:
