  • rlpalapala said:
    Obviously fake. People are nearly as big as the elephant, crack in photo makes part of building disappear(?), Elephants eyes appear drawn in, feet look like they've been cut out of somewhere. Also, ropes would dig into the skin of a 5 ton elephant if it were lifted in this way. You really need to note that this photograph is altered.

    Can we usually see intelligence on people's face? Remember the movie Amadeus Mozart, the Antonio is in a party searching for a face looks like Morzat the most? Mozart do look different for his genius quality which is very rarely exist in human society. Mozart is an unusal special case. Most fine people can show the quality of their intensed training and intelligence by seeing their faces.
  • Kristi (LOC P&P) said:
    captainslack and swanq: Thanks for the info! This is indeed William Crawford Gorgas (1854-1920), honorary degree recipient at Columbia University's June 4, 1913 commencement. When we update the record, we will expand on the caption to include this information.

    William C. Gorgas was a U. S. Army General, and a military surgeon who introduced mosquito eradication to eliminate Yellow Fever in Havana during the Spanish Amerian War, and later in the Panama Canal Zone, during construction of the canal. history.amedd.army.mil/surgeongenerals/W_Gorgas.html Bain's and LOC's captions to the above photo are incorrect: Gorgas was not a Professor; he wore the academic rig when he received an honorary degree from Columbia. A Bain/LOC photo of Gorgas with Mrs. Gorgas: Another photo was posed to Flickr on November 12, 2010:
