This glass negative is labeled "Geo. Dougherty," with "12/12" serving as both its date and a caption notation, so the record gives no firm year or subject beyond the name. The Library of Congress notes that the title comes from unverified information written on the negatives or caption cards. The negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Its glass plates record the people and events that made the news in that era, and their handwritten labels are often the best clue to identifying a particular sitter.
