Figure 1.-- This studio cabinet portrait shows Niran Bates Pope. Niran was born in 1879, so this portrait was taken about 1882-83. Niran was the son of Charles Henry Pope and Elizabeth Bates, daughter of Dr. Niran Bates. The family lived in Maine. The portrait does not have any studio information. Niran's outfit is a little difficult to make out, but I think it is a kilt suit rather than a dress.

Niran Bates Pope (United States, 1883)

This studio cabinet portrait shows Niran Bates Pope. Niran was born in 1879, so this portrait was taken about 1882-83. Niran was the son of Charles Henry Pope and Elizabeth Bates, daughter of Dr. Niran Bates. The family lived in Maine. The portrait does not have any studio information. Niran's outfit is a little difficult to make out, but I think it is a kilt suit rather than a dress. He has a large white collar and dark long stockings that seem to match hus kilt-skirt. His tam and overcoat are set to the ight. The portrait is an unusual mix of furniture with a rural landscape. Niran graduated from Harvard University (1902). He worked in the automotive industry. He was also a researcher. He published the History of Felt (think: brake pad). He also an article on the grinding of optic lens. He died 1972.
