Commander Maxfield of the Ill-Fated R-38 - 1921

Original 6.5x8.5" press photo of Cmdr A.N. Maxfield, USN, who was to assume command of the R-38 on behalf of the U.S. Navy. Press agency rubber stamp on the reverse along with a date of Aug 11, 1921. Very good, numerous editorial marks on the front (to me they add to the allure of the image!)
