Two young boys in sailor outfits are the subject here, and the caption links them to a place or vessel called Newport, though that title comes from unverified notes on the negative. The George Grantham Bain Collection holds glass negatives from the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied newspapers with news photographs and portraits in the early 1900s. Newport, Rhode Island, was a fashionable summer resort and a Navy training center, which suits a nautical theme. Sailor suits were a popular fashion for boys of that period.
