While the artist’s full name is lost to history, we can presume that either his first or last is Martin based on the manuscript inscription on the back of the photograph. Occupational photographs were a popular medium for people to proudly represent and advertise their trade. “Martin” is pictured seated at an easel, painting a portrait.
