Portrait of George O. Noville wearing a hat, pince-nez, suit jacket, collared shirt, and tie. A cropped version of this photograph was published on Page 1 of the Oregon Journal on Tuesday, September 24, 1929, under the headline “Left Behind.” The photograph had the following caption: “Commander George O. Noville, who went to the North Pole and across the Atlantic with Commander [Richard E.] Byrd, was among the absent when his chief sailed for the Antarctic. Now he’s marking time until the expedition returns. Coming here by plane Monday, he will be one of the principal speakers at the All-Portland dinner Wednesday night.” The photograph accompanied an article about Noville and his visit to Portland, headlined “Noted Flier Sad Away From Byrd.”
