    1901 mugshot of anarchist Emma Goldman, arrested after the assassination of President McKinley. (She was later released as there was no evidence she was involved in the crime.)

    Thanks Infrogmation of New Orleans! We'll add this info to the catalog record.

Rev. G. A. Cooke, cameo portrait, photograph by Fuller (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Albert_Cooke

    "George Albert Cooke (26 November 1865 – 9 September 1939) was a British Anglican clergyman and academic. He held two senior chairs at the University of Oxford: Oriel Professor of the Interpretation of Holy Scripture from 1908 to 1914, and Regius Professor of Hebrew from 1914 to 1936.

    it would be nice to find another portrait to confirm the identification, but so far, I have failed.
  • Jon (LOC P&P) said:
    swanq, I did some searching too and I couldn't locate another photo. I also tried searching for his name (with variants using initials) and I didn't find any other Reverend's so I'll ask that we put "probably George Albert Cooke".
