The title pairs two names, "Delamios" and "M. Donnay," and the record notes that the title comes from unverified caption data, so the identities of the sitters are not confirmed here. The negative is a 5 x 7 inch or smaller glass plate from the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress. Bain News Service, a New York photo agency, produced and sold news pictures of people and events in the early twentieth century, and its glass negatives often survive with handwritten or typed caption cards. Without a date or further description, the most useful way to read this plate is as an example of that agency's working output, when portraits of visiting and prominent figures were a staple of press photography.
