The only identifying detail here is the name "Jeremiah Smith," which the Bain News Service recorded on the negative or its caption card. The Library of Congress notes that this title is unverified, and no date or further description survives, so the sitter's identity and the occasion remain unconfirmed. The Bain News Service was a New York firm that supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century, and its glass negatives record a wide range of people and events of that period. Viewed as part of the George Grantham Bain Collection, this plate shows how press photographers worked in the years before halftone reproduction made newspaper images routine.
