The title "Gen. Aultman & staff" points to a formal group portrait of a general posing with his officers, though the record does not identify the general, the occasion, or the setting. The negative is a 5 x 7 inch or smaller glass plate from the George Grantham Bain Collection. Bain News Service, a New York picture agency founded around 1899, sold news photographs of public figures, military men, and current events to newspapers, and its glass negatives are the core of the Library of Congress holdings. The title came from the agency's own caption cards, which Library of Congress staff have not verified, so the names may be incomplete or inaccurate.
