The record gives only the title "MINIA," which Bain News Service wrote on the negative or its caption card, so the subject is unconfirmed. The name most likely refers to Minya, a city on the Nile in Upper Egypt, though the catalog does not say so. George Grantham Bain founded his New York agency around 1899, and it sent photographers and sold pictures to newspapers for years afterward. Because the negatives were made for daily press use, their captions were often brief and sometimes wrong, so a researcher should check the title against other sources before relying on it.
