Labeled with the name J.W. Gerard, this glass negative most likely shows James W. Gerard, the New York lawyer who served as U.S. ambassador to Germany from 1913 until 1917, a post that ended as the United States entered World War I. The title comes from notes the Bain News Service wrote on the negative or its caption card, and the record neither confirms the identification nor gives a date. The Bain agency sold news photographs to newspapers, so its collection is a useful record of public figures in the early twentieth century.
