This appears to be a photo of a painting

Herbert Kitchener, 1st Earl Kitchener. Commanded British troops at the beginning of World War I until his death in 1916 when the ship he was aboard struck a German mine. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Kitchener,_1st_Earl_Kitchener

www.royalcollection.org.uk/egallery/object.asp?maker=1266.... May be the portrait although the reproduction on the Royal Collection website is very dark. If so, the painting is by Heinrich von Angeli and was painted by request of Queen Victoria around 1898-90. See books.google.com/books?id=Qi4OAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA117&l... for circumstances of the sitting for Heinrich von Angeli and a photo that might well have been taken at the same time on page 116. That would date the sitting to July 1899 and locate it in Buckingham Palace. He was in the news in October 1914, because he was Secretary of State for War.

NYPL has a copy that looks to come from a book or newspaper


and a search for the caption yields

which indicates that the picture was in a supplement to the Illustrated London News. It mentions Angelo [sic] as the artist.

www.gac.culture.gov.uk/work.aspx?obj=31594 shows another portrait in same uniform and at similar age, a photogravure published in 1900 from a painting by Arthur Cope.

His Wikipedia entry: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Kitchener,_1st_Earl_Kitchener

But he's maybe most familiar as this guy:

Another Bain/LOC photo of Kitchener:

The city of Berlin, Ontario was renamed Kitchener in his honor in 1916.

Must date to 1910, he wears a black armband for the death of King Edward VII, must be after 1909 when he receives the GCSI and before 1911 when he his made a Knight of the Order of St Patrick.

I think Monty Python has used this picture.
