This negative is catalogued under the name G. Zinoviev, but the title comes from unverified data written on the negative or its caption card, so the sitter's identity is not confirmed. It belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the work of the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers from around 1899 into the early 1930s. The record gives no date, so the image is best understood in that setting: glass negatives were the standard working medium for press photographers of the period, and they preserve the portraits and events that filled American newspapers at the time.
