[edit] Summary

The image is of a photogravure. It was produced by James Russell and Sons PLC, at one of their London studios, probably 17 Baker Street (Michael Pritchard, A Directory of London Photographers 1841-1908, 1994). The portrait was likely commissioned by Arthur Surridge Hunt. The printer's name and the signature of the subject appear on the image. The portrait depicts the subject of the article Arthur Surridge Hunt, who is a person of public interest. No free replacement can be made because the subject is deceased. It is also worthy of note that the picture was probably made prior to 1920, most likely in 1917. Hunt was born in 1871, so about 50 years old in 1920. The photogravure technique was displaced by more expedient gelatin methods by the 20s. James Russell senior (1809-1899) "was active in Chichester from before 1858 until around 1880" ('James Russell & Sons' [Internet], Professional Photographers in Chichester.). The portrait is signed only Russell. Hunt was not a professional soldier, he served only during WWI, as a cryptanalyst with military intelligence (MI1) from 1916-1918 (The Codebreakers, p. 308.). It is likely that copyright has expired.
