    Probably Herbert E. Ives (1882-1953), scientist and engineer. If so, his Wikipedia article could use this photo.
  • Kristi (LOC P&P) said:
    whyaduck: Thanks for the tip! This does appear to be Herbert E. Ives, based on another image of a slightly older Ives in our collections, which is found within the Prints & Photographs Online Catalog and can be seen here.

    In 1913, Ives 'invented' daylight, see e.g. Perrysburg journal., November 14, 1913, Image 5, col. 1, "Dayligth at All Hours" (chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn87076843/1913-11-14/ed-...)

    This photo ran in The Sunday Oregonian. (Portland, Ore.) 1881-current, August 10, 1913, SECTION FIVE, Image 61 with the caption: "Dr. Herbert E. Ives, of Philadelphia, says he has invented a substitute for daylight on which he has been at work for a dozen years. He says his new light has passed the test and is in every way equal to sunshine and the light of day. He has designed a powerful incandescent lamp with a special mantle, which is so placed in the top of a specially made cabinet that its rays are immediately beneath a reflector. This is made of metal and the light is forced downward through a series delicately colored screens. This light will be useful for dental work, sorting cigars, paper manufacture, diamond buyers, color printing, textile manufacture, dyeing and similar arts in which no light has been found which can satisfactorily take the place of daylight." oregonnews.uoregon.edu/lccn/sn83045782/1913-08-10/ed-1/se...
