This is a photo of the American Jewish Committee, apparently taken on August 16, 1918, and an undated painting based on the photograph with a few obvious amendments i.e. the rabbi on the left has turned into Louis Marshall, Isadore Hershfield has materialised behind him, and a globe, perhaps signifying their ambitions has appeared.
