The only identifying detail for this glass negative is its title, Lobert, which is recorded as unverified and was taken from the negative or its caption card. The picture belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied photographs of people, events and places to newspapers in the early twentieth century. The record gives no date, so the name is best treated as a starting point for research rather than a confirmed identification, and the plate's format and the agency's practice offer the most useful clues to its period.
