NICE FIND! On the internet, purchased a lot of vintage photo snap shots. I don't think the seller had any idea who this photo was of. Measures 2" X 3", a nice candid photo taken of General Pershing & his staff leaving some building. Unknown if this is PRE WWI or Post WWI, as there is no date on the back side of this photo.
Makes a nice addition to my collection, and can't beat the price I paid for it either!
