Harper B. Smith took this one. His obit in the Bulletin of Photography for July 4, 1917, has this to say:
"Harper B. Smith, official photographer for Atlantic City, N. J., and representative of the International Newspaper Photographic Syndicate of Underwood & Underwood, died on August 3d. He was 42 years old and is survived by a widow.
Deceased had been ailing for several years, and eight months ago was operated upon, gaining temporary relief. Shortly after that time, however, Mr. Smith began to show visible symptoms of physical collapse, which ended in a light stroke of apoplexy. He rallied three times but steadily lost strength until the end came.
Mr. Smith went to Atlantic City 25 years ago. from York, Pa., where he was born. He established himself on the Boardwalk, and for a long period was the leading man in the profession in the city. He devoted much of his time to doing work for the metropolitan newspapers, and was known to thousands of the resort visitors."
