The only identifying detail for this negative is its title, "Moreno," which the Bain News Service recorded on the glass or its caption card, though the library has not verified it and the record gives no date. The Bain News Service was a New York picture agency founded by George Grantham Bain around the turn of the 20th century, and it sold news photographs to newspapers across the country. Its collection holds tens of thousands of glass negatives like this one, which were the standard medium for news photography until flexible film became common. Many of these negatives are now valued as a record of daily life and events in the early decades of the century.
