A Harvard coach identified as Dr. R.H. Howe is the subject of this glass negative, though the name and role come from caption information recorded by the Bain News Service and have not been independently verified. Bain was a New York photo agency whose pictures of public figures, athletes and events were sold to newspapers, so the portrait reflects the newswire practice of the early twentieth century. Harvard's athletic teams drew steady press attention from Boston and beyond, and coaches were often featured in such coverage. Glass negatives like this one preserve fine tonal detail, which is one reason the Bain collection remains valuable to researchers.
