SUMMARY
The frontispiece portrait from Bernarr Macfadden's 1901 book Strength from Eating, reproduced on Wikimedia Commons (public domain). The print is self-identifying: it carries a handwritten inscription reading 'Yours for Health, Bernarr Macfadden' beneath the head-and-shoulders portrait, so the identification rests on the print itself rather than on an external attribution. The image is dated 1901, the period of Macfadden's early physical-culture career. Used as the actor portrait for the practitioner entity.
NOTES

The actor portrait for the case. A head-and-shoulders frontispiece portrait from Macfadden’s 1901 book Strength from Eating, now on Wikimedia Commons under a public-domain tag. The identification is carried on the print itself: a handwritten inscription, “Yours for Health, Bernarr Macfadden,” appears beneath the portrait, which satisfies the archive’s source-title identification rule without relying on an external caption. The image is dated 1901, within Macfadden’s early career as a physical-culture promoter.
