This is a reprint of a photo taken by Frank Nowell, the official photographer for the 1909 Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition. His logo is visible in the lower right corner. The caption is in Otto's writing, but the image is signed "American Post Card Co." Apparently he printed it on contract for them.

Some of the people in the photograph are standing with their heads down. We do not know why.

Otto also published a copy under his own name:

There are four other images numbered 23:

Reuse of image numbers and different image series make it difficult to know how many images Otto published.
