The record names the sitter as Dr. David B. Johnson, but the title comes from unverified caption data, and no date is given. The Bain News Service, a New York photo agency founded by George Grantham Bain around the turn of the twentieth century, supplied pictures of people and events to newspapers that needed images quickly. Its collection holds tens of thousands of glass negatives, many of them small portraits like this one, made when glass plates were the standard medium for news photography. Because the identification is unconfirmed, the sitter's role and the picture's date are worth checking against other sources.
