An accompanying slip of paper reads, "Picture of Joseph at the time
of our marriage Apr. 19, 1906...M.F.G."
The photograph is tucked into a folded piece of paper that reads:
"Photograph of death mask of Dr.
Joseph Goldberger, by H.K. Bush-Brown. The artist thought there
was a resemblance between Goldberger's features and those of
Dante."
The verso reads: "One of these apts Joseph
lived in on the East Side when they first arrived in New York
from Giralt, Hungary."
Possibly the same building as in P-1641/5 viewed from a different
angle.
