A "Mr. Frostman" sitting outside, apparently to have his portrait taken. Mr. Frostman may actually be Julius Forstmann (1871-1939), a wool manufacturer based in New Jersey. A man is standing behind him holding up a square of black felt. If this is Julius Forstmann then the location is Branch in Denning, Ulster County in the Catskill Mountains. The date is unrecorded, but probably ca. 1920. The purpose of this image is unknown.
