The only identifying detail here is the surname Strauss, and the record notes that even this title comes from unverified data on the negative or its caption card, so the subject cannot be confirmed. The negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied newspapers with pictures of public figures, events and everyday news in the early twentieth century. Glass plates like this one were the standard working medium for press photographers of that era, and their sharp detail is a large part of what makes the collection useful to researchers today.
