Was it common not to snap the brim at some time?[huh]
Extremely common, particularly among the middle-aged and older men. There was a time when the brim up all around was considered more conservative.
I doubt that photo was posed or staged or modern. If a photographer was staging the photo he would have the model remove his coat and would get that workman out of the background.
