The only identifying detail in this record is the name Charles E. Piper, which the Bain News Service apparently recorded on its negative or caption card. The title comes from that unverified data, so the subject's identity and the date remain uncertain. George Grantham Bain started his news photograph service in New York around 1899, selling images of people, places, and current events to newspapers. The collection holds mostly glass negatives from the early twentieth century, and this small-format plate is a typical example of the agency's work.
