This glass negative shows a sitter named Leon G. Godley, though the name comes from caption data that the Bain News Service recorded and that has not been independently verified. Bain News Service was a New York picture agency founded by George Grantham Bain around 1899 to supply photographs to newspapers, and its archive holds tens of thousands of images from the early twentieth century. Photographers of that period typically worked with glass plates of this size because they produced sharp, detailed images for reproduction. The record does not give a date, so the picture is best understood through the agency's working methods and the era in which it was made.
