SUMMARY
A 1915 studio portrait photograph of Samuel Brubaker Hartman, held by the Columbus Metropolitan Library and distributed via the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) and the Ohio Digital Network. The Commons file record's structured metadata (fetched directly via the Wikimedia Commons imageinfo/extmetadata API) gives the photograph date as 1915, the holding institution as the Columbus Metropolitan Library, and the rights status as License: 'pd' / LicenseShortName: 'Public domain' / Copyrighted: 'False' -- the Commons record classifies this file as public domain rather than merely 'no known restrictions.' The Commons credit line points to a direct Columbus Metropolitan Library digital-collections catalog record (digital-collections.columbuslibrary.org, collection 'ohio', id 20126) and a DPLA item record (dp.la/item/bc72628161a16c6d1c1bbc87ed5106e7) as the holding institution's own records; both were attempted as direct fetches for this case but returned a non-rendering CONTENTdm interface and a blocked/403 response respectively, so this Source cites the Wikimedia Commons file page itself (which aggregates and republishes the same structured metadata via its API) as the archive link, per the documented fallback for when a linked direct holding record cannot itself be independently fetched. The image identifies its subject by the Commons file title and description, which name Hartman directly and give his birth and death dates as 3/1/1830-1/31/1918 (March 1, 1830 to January 31, 1918). Those exact days differ slightly from other tertiary accounts, so the practitioner biography uses only the uncontested years while this source record preserves the image metadata as published.
NOTES
This 1915 portrait of Samuel B. Hartman is held by the Columbus Metropolitan Library and distributed through the Digital Public Library of America’s Ohio Digital Network partnership. It is used in this case as the actor-role image for Hartman: the Commons record itself names and dates the subject (its file title identifies him by full name with his birth and death dates, March 1, 1830 to January 31, 1918), so the identification in this case’s Media caption rests on the archive record’s own naming, not an inference. The practitioner entity uses only the uncontested birth and death years rather than promoting the photograph metadata’s exact days into biographical claims. Rights: the Commons extmetadata API record (fetched directly) reports License: pd, LicenseShortName: Public domain, and Copyrighted: False, which this case tags public_domain rather than the more cautious no_known_restrictions, consistent with the rights-tag mapping’s treatment of an explicit Commons public-domain classification.
