Catalogued under the name J.H. Thiry, this glass negative is one of the few details the record preserves about its subject, and the title comes from caption information written by the Bain News Service that has not been independently checked. George Grantham Bain founded his New York news photo service around 1899 to supply newspapers with pictures of public figures, events and everyday subjects. Made as a small glass plate, the negative reflects the working medium of that era, before flexible film became standard in press work.
