The only identifying detail is the name C.S. Thomas, and the record notes that it comes from unverified caption information on the negative or its card, so treat the subject as uncertain. This is a glass negative of 5 by 7 inches or smaller from the George Grantham Bain Collection, which holds work from the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Glass plates like this were the working medium of press photography before film became standard, and their modest size made them practical to carry and to reproduce quickly.
