The only identifier for this picture is the name "W.J. Reilly," which the Bain News Service wrote on the negative or its caption card, and the record does not confirm who he was or when the picture was taken. The image survives as a small glass negative, a format widely used by news photographers in the early twentieth century. George Grantham Bain founded his New York agency to sell photographs of current events and notable people to newspapers, so the collection reflects the pace of that trade. Because the name is unverified, the sitter and occasion are best approached through the collection's surrounding records.
