This photograph depicts a Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps (USMC) collecting fingerprints from an elderly man wearing a dark overcoat. The Sergeant is wearing a USMC cap with the "Eagle, Globe and Anchor" design and the letter "R" on the front, indicating he is a Reserve Officer. Wooden folding chairs and articles of clothing are visible in the background, along with short, wooden bats hanging on the wall above (possibly percussion instruments or guiros) . A large piece of fabric with music bars and notes is also attached to the wall. This photograph was likely taken by a staff photographer for the Oregon Daily Journal.
