The record gives only one name, Resta, and notes that even this title is unverified, so the subject should be approached with caution. The name most likely refers to Dario Resta, the Italian-born racing driver who competed in American and European motor races in the 1910s and early 1920s, though the record does not confirm that. The negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the work of the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied newspapers with photographs of current events, sports and public figures in the early twentieth century.
