The name on this glass negative, Maurice Gunsky, comes from a caption card that the Bain News Service wrote, and the record marks it as unverified, so the identity of the sitter or subject is not confirmed. George Grantham Bain founded the New York agency in 1899 to sell news pictures to newspapers, and its glass negatives, made in large numbers through the early twentieth century, show the wide range of people and events that editors wanted to illustrate. Because the record gives no date, the best clues are the negative format and the agency's own cataloging, which together place it in that busy news-photo era.
