The title pairs two names, Bobby Dobbs and Holger Hausen, but the record flags that identification as unverified, so the subjects remain uncertain. The George Grantham Bain Collection came from a New York news photography agency that shot and sold pictures for newspapers in the early twentieth century, usually on glass plates like this one. Without a date, the exact occasion is hard to pin down, but the format and the agency's practice of captioning on cards place it within that busy trade. Researchers interested in how working news photographers recorded people and events of the period will find the collection a useful point of reference.
