Right you are! It is Chief Justice Edward D. White. By my estimate, this print was pulled around 1912. However, it is different than the later BEP...
I knew this was a BEP portrait when I spotted the blue numbering on the back. But this is not the official portrait, which must have been engraved...

I was scrolling through some earlier pages on this and noticed: Here you go... [ATTACH]
This one falls just outside the 19th century -- a 1903 paymasters check from the War Department. I've been looking for one of these Stanton...
