The caption on this glass negative names three men: Señor Rodriguez, Louis Rodriguez, and Señor Gandara. The record flags these names as unverified, so the title alone does not establish who they were or why they were photographed together. The negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the files of the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Small glass plates like this one, 5 by 7 inches or smaller, were the working medium of that trade, and the collection preserves a broad record of the period's people and events.
