The archive record identifies this as a portrait of Emile Berliner in later years, dated 1871, with Berliner listed as the creator.

This cataloguing presents a chronological inconsistency. A portrait showing someone in later years cannot have been created in 1871 and also be created by the subject himself. The actual date of the photograph is not established by the available information.

No verified details about Emile Berliner, the circumstances of this portrait, or the correct date of its creation have been supplied with this record.

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