In this self-portrait the photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston poses as an independent ‘new woman.’ On the mantelpiece are six portraits she took of men (from left to right): poet Bliss Carman; A. N. Brown, likely the librarian at the U.S. Naval Academy; Henry Guston Rogers, likely the inventor and playwright Henry Gustave Rogers; architect James Rush Marshall; Smithsonian librarian Frank Phister; and L. M. McCormick, a photographer and member of the Capital Camera Club. [quoted from Library of Congress] permalink
