This glass negative bears the names R.S. Erskine and A.A. Vantine, though the Library of Congress notes that the title comes from unverified information recorded by the Bain News Service, so the sitters or subjects are not confirmed. The Vantine name is best known from A.A. Vantine & Co., a New York firm that sold textiles and Asian goods. The Bain News Service, which operated in New York from the early 1900s, produced a large body of news and commercial photographs, and its negatives are valued for documenting people and businesses of the period. The record gives no date, so the picture's exact moment is unknown.
