The title "Giggota Conquest Bertelli" is the most distinctive feature of this negative, but the Library of Congress notes that it comes from unverified data on the negative or its caption card, so the words may be garbled or misread. George Grantham Bain founded his news photo service in New York in the early 1900s, and it sold pictures of people, events, and places to newspapers across the country. Its glass negatives, usually 5 by 7 inches or smaller, were made to be printed quickly for daily newspapers, which is why many of them now serve as a record of American news from that era. With no date recorded, the exact year of this picture is uncertain.
