The title on this glass negative, "C. Demarest pool," comes from the Bain News Service's own notes and has not been independently verified, so the subject and occasion remain uncertain. The Bain News Service was a New York picture agency that George Grantham Bain founded around 1899, selling news photographs to newspapers, and its glass negatives record a wide range of people and events in the early twentieth century. Collections like this one are valuable because the negatives were made quickly for daily publication, and their short captions, though sometimes incomplete, preserve a working record of that period's news.
