Portrait of Unknown Man with Postbag and Letters (date unknown; location unknown; subject and artist unknown)

From National Galleries of Scotland. 

[To my eye, the style of the subject’s uniform, and my general sense of photography – especially colonial photography, which I think we can assume this is an example of given the backdrop chosen and the literal grassy ground on which the subject stands – suggests to me this was taken in Africa ca. 1900. So vague as to be insulting, so please, if you know more specifics and can do some archival history deductions, clue me in!]
