A cropped version of this photo appeared in The Sunday Oregonian, July 22, 1917, SECTION FIVE, Image 57 with the caption: "Marconi, the Inventor of the wireless system now in almost universal use, came to this country as a member of the Italian commission. While here he showed to the War Department a field wireless outfit hardly bigger than a suitcase which he has invented for war use. He is an officer in the Italian army." oregonnews.uoregon.edu/lccn/sn83045782/1917-07-22/ed-1/se...

desmondg47 I was concerned about the windows! But look here: catalogue.nli.ie/Search/Results?lookfor=Conningbeg&ty... and the Poole negative numbers are consecutive, implying the title and subject of the photo is correct...
