What sets this negative apart is its name: the only identifying detail is "Jos. Rosenblatt," taken from caption data that the Library of Congress itself describes as unverified, with no date recorded. The George Grantham Bain Collection comes from the Bain News Service, a New York agency that sold news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century, covering politics, theater, sports and public life. Glass negatives like this one were the working medium of that trade and were valued for their sharpness in reproduction. Without a date or further caption detail, the sitter's identity and the occasion remain open questions.
