The subject, Abner Bardavid, was born in 1908. In the photograph, he appears to be in his late 30s or early 40s, which aligns with a date in the mid-to-late 1940s. The text mentions his career progression in the Congo starting in 1929, and the photo likely dates from his established period in Sakania. The halftone print style is typical of mid-century biographical publications.
