Packy McFarland, the Chicago boxer, is the subject of this 8 by 10 inch glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection. The record gives no date, but McFarland was a well-known fighter in the 1910s, when the Bain News Service supplied newspapers with pictures of sporting figures. The title comes from caption cards and negative data that the agency recorded and that the Library of Congress describes as unverified, so the identification reflects the agency's own labeling.
