John Dubas with Speedgun Speedgraphic large format camera March 9, 1943 Unidentified photographer 8 x 10 inch film negative Baltimore City Life Museum Collection Maryland Historical Society MC9519 .1

This is probably a self-portrait in Baltimore, as this is where Dubas lived and worked as a photographer (more specifically, he lived in East Baltimore). He is one of the best photographers this city has seen, but for whatever reason, not many people have heard of him today.
