About this photograph

Arnold Genthe photographed Major Bastedo in 1917. The record does not identify who Bastedo was or provide further details about the circumstances of the portrait.

Genthe maintained a studio in San Francisco from 1896 to 1911 before relocating to New York, where he continued working into the 1940s. After his death in 1942, the Library of Congress acquired approximately 20,000 items from his unclaimed studio. The collection includes several thousand studio portraits alongside other bodies of work.

The photograph survives as a glass negative measuring 5 by 7 inches.

Compiled from the catalogue record and reference notes on the formats and events involved. The archive record above is the primary source.
