The record identifies the sitter only as Madison R. Smith, a name the Bain News Service took from caption cards, and the Library of Congress notes that it has not been verified. The image is a glass negative, 5 by 7 inches or smaller, from the George Grantham Bain Collection. Bain began supplying news photographs to newspapers from New York in 1899, and glass plates were the standard working medium for press and commercial photographers of that period. The record gives no date, so the caption-based name is worth checking against other sources before relying on it.
