Starr J. Murphy (1860-1921), a prominent attorney, shown here sometime around the year 1900. Starr was best known for his association with John D. Rockefeller, and described himself as “the personal counsel and representative of John D. Rockefeller in his benevolences.” Nice work if you can get it. Notice the great swing-away gadget that holds his candlestick telephone. Speaking of which, who can identify the phone? This photograph is included here in big and huge versions.
