Fred in Uniform
Image
A standing full length photograph of Fred von der Sump in a U.S. Army uniform including a field service coat, gaiters, and hat. He is wearing pince-nez glasses and his pose, facing slightly left with his left hand on his hip, imitates that of Theodore Roosevelt as a Spanish American War rough rider in a popular photograph by George Gardner Rockwood. There is a young peach tree behind him and a field in the background. A handwritten note on the negative envelope reads: "Fred in soldier suit. The good one."
