Sir Laming Worthington Evans, the British Conservative politician named in this record, is a figure from the interwar period, when he held senior posts in London and was a frequent subject of press photographers. The catalog title comes from Bain News Service caption information that has not been independently verified, so the sitter's identity and the occasion are best treated as provisional. The picture is a glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection, a body of work produced by a New York news photography agency that supplied images to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Its survival on glass, rather than as a print, is typical of that agency's working files and is worth noticing for anyone studying how news pictures were made and circulated.
