This glass negative carries a single identifying word, the surname "Herriot," and the record notes that the title comes from unverified data written on the negative or its caption card, so the subject remains uncertain. The Bain News Service, a New York firm that supplied newspapers with photographs of public figures and current events in the early twentieth century, produced many plates of this size, and its negatives were filed for quick use in print. With no date recorded, the picture is best read as a fragment of that working press archive, where the caption card and the plate itself are the main clues to who stood before the lens.
