Little is recorded about this picture beyond its title, which names a person only as L. Murphy, with no date or location given. That title is unverified, taken from notes the Bain News Service wrote on its negatives or caption cards, so the identification is best treated as a lead for further research. Bain's agency supplied news photographs to newspapers in New York in the early twentieth century. Its glass negatives, a format common before flexible film took over, preserve the work of a busy press operation, though many of the photographers who made them went unrecorded.
