Authorship
This picture appeared in John Buchan's The Battle of Jutland, published in 1916. where it is credited to "Russell & Sons, Southsea", but not to any individual photographer. The same credit appears in the Danish edition, Slaget ved Jylland.
A less cropped version, File:Rear-Admiral Horace Hood.jpg, was included with part 101 of The Great War: The Standard History of the All-Europe Conflict, edited by Herbert Wrigley Wilson and Sir John Alexander Hammerton, published in 1916. There was no credit on the photo and no credit elsewhere in that part. A different crop also appeared on page 421 of volume 7, again uncredited.
Bjh21 verified the above from volume 7 of The Great War (classmark WRA.2.1-), The Battle of Jutland (classmark 1919.7.2999), and Slaget ved Jylland (classmark 1999.8.7658) in Cambridge University Library on 25 November 2017.
