Scope and content

Photograph of townsfolk gathering to receive the visiting President of the Republic of Lithuania (1919-1920), Antanas Smetona (not visible in this photograph). President Smetona was the president from 1919 to 1920. He later restored himself to presidency once more via a coup d'etat in 1926 and served as a nationalist dictator until 1940, and died in 1944 in the United States of America.

In front of the gathered crowd, a well-dressed man is seen on the left with his hat in his hands, out of respect for the President. To his right, a Lithuanian soldier is saluting the President, and Rabbi Bezalel Katz can be seen to the right of the soldier. Rabbi Bezalel Katz was born in 1843 in Lithuania, and died in 1940 in Lithuania. [Source: https://www.geni.com/people/Rabbi-Bezalel-Katz/6000000028318757367]
