The record gives only a surname, "Giannini," and notes that the title is unverified, so the subject is uncertain. It may refer to Amadeo Peter Giannini, the San Francisco banker who founded the Bank of Italy in 1904, later Bank of America, and became known for lending to immigrants and small depositors. The Bain News Service, a New York photo agency, produced this glass negative in the early twentieth century, and its collection holds tens of thousands of news and portrait images. Because no date or caption is recorded, the exact occasion and sitter remain open to research.
