Description
Henry C. Reche sits at a roll-top desk in his office in the Security Building. A map of Central America hangs on the wall at the rear of the office. A small Mexican flag hangs over the desk and a Pre-Columbian style statue sits on top of the desk. Mr. Reche is reading a magazine in which the heading “Seccion Espanola” can be read. There are two June, 1912 monthly calendars in the room, and a work-week calendar for June 3rd through 8th, 1912. The number “58” has been written on the emulsion side of the negative and is visible in the upper right corner of the picture. The number “3” has been written in the upper left corner.

References
According to the article “Concentrates From Mexican Mining Camps” in Mexican Mining Journal, November, 1908, page 28, column 3: "Henry C. Reche of Dubuque, Iowa, will open up the Mariquita mine, Zacualpam, Mex. this month."
The 1912 Dubuque City Directory's entry for Mariquita Mining Company states that Henry C. Reche is the company's president, William O. Buckingham is secretary and treasurer, and the office is located in room 306 of the Security Building, corner 8th and Main.
In the 1970s, the man in the photo was verbally identified as "Henry Ritchie." Later research confirmed "Reche" as the correct spelling of his name.
