Photograph of Elkan Nathan Adler

Question:
How can I acquire a copy of a photograph of Elkan Nathan Adler?
Answer:
Elkan Nathan Adler (1861-1946) was an Anglo-Jewish lawyer who collected books, manuscripts, and Genizah fragments. In 1923 he sold much of his collection to the Jewish Theological Seminary. JTS also holds his personal archives (ARC 2). The JTS Library owns a photograph of Adler. This photograph has been scanned and is posted on the internet at the following address: http://alpha3.jtsa.edu/aleph_images/portraits/pnt-g0020.jpg.
