The subject here is the financier J.P. Morgan, whose name appears in the title supplied by the Bain News Service on the negative or its caption card. The glass negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress, a body of roughly 40,000 images made by the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that supplied pictures to newspapers from the early 1900s through the 1920s. Morgan was among the most powerful bankers of his era, shaping railroad, steel and industrial finance in the United States, so Bain's coverage of him reflects the public interest in his name. The record gives no firm date, so the exact occasion is unknown.
