Here the pairing is the notable detail: an educator, Dr. Finley, shares the frame with President William Howard Taft, whose title in the caption points to the years he held the White House, 1909 to 1913. The record gives no date, and its title comes from unverified notes written by the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that supplied pictures to newspapers. Bain's glass negatives capture many officials, educators and public figures of the early twentieth century, so this sitting offers a glimpse of the era's public life, though its exact occasion is not recorded.
