A figure in the first Republic of China and the Wuchang uprising, he was assassinated in Canada on his way back from a fund raising trip to the US. in 1918. There's a bit of info here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baohuang_Hui Usually spelled Tang Hualong.

Faint 1913 date is inscribed in reverse on the negative.

Jim Rees and Wystan: Thanks for the information! By searching the name as "Tang Hualong," I found a bit more biographical information here: http://rulers.org/indext1.html. By flipping the date in image software, it appears to be 9/11/13. We'll add the information when we update the source record.

LOC -- I believe that is a 7, not a 9.

This is quite interesting, at a glance it would appear to be a hot of two intimate friend, perhaps even family, but it in in fact a cutout from a larger group, a third person is seated to the right of thee two (seen from their side), just his shoulder still visible..
