This glass negative is titled for John Schiff and Mrs. Phipps alongside a subject called "Mighty Adam," though the title comes from caption data that the Bain News Service supplied and that has not been independently verified. The picture belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, which holds news photographs made in New York in the early twentieth century, when wealthy families, sporting events and society gatherings were frequent subjects for press agencies. Bain's glass plates were made to be printed quickly for newspapers, so their captions often reflect the names and details known at the time of publication. Viewers should weigh the identifications as the agency recorded them.
