The title on this glass negative is Langley, a name the Bain News Service recorded on its negatives or caption cards without verification, so the subject cannot be confirmed from the record alone. The name most often points to Langley Field in Hampton, Virginia, an early Army aviation station named for aviation pioneer Samuel Pierpont Langley, though it could also refer to a person or another place. Bain News Service was a New York press agency that supplied news pictures from about 1900 into the 1920s, and its glass negatives like this one often capture the people and events of that busy period.
