The caption on this glass negative names him as Judge Robert Luce, though the record notes that the identification comes from unverified information written by the Bain News Service. Luce is best known as a Massachusetts legislator who served many years in the U.S. House of Representatives and wrote widely on parliamentary procedure. The Bain News Service, which operated in New York from about 1900 into the 1920s, supplied newspapers with pictures of public figures, so portraits like this one give a sense of how officials were presented to the public in that period. Because the record lacks a date, the exact occasion is unknown.
