There is nothing on the original to identify this young man. This portrait was in the steamer trunk, so he probably had some connection to Minnie Rossow Harms, but your guess is as good as mine.

We can date the photo roughly, as the Chicago Historical Society places William Ahlborn's Berlin Studio at 333 W. Madison from 1886 to 1894.
