Among the Bain News Service negatives, this glass plate is set apart by its subject, Jeremiah O'Leary, an Irish-American activist in New York whose name appeared often in the press of the 1910s. O'Leary led the American Truth Society and was a vocal critic of British rule in Ireland and of American moves toward entering the First World War, positions that drew close attention from federal authorities. The Bain News Service, a New York photo agency, supplied pictures like this one to newspapers across the country, so the plate shows how readers encountered controversial public figures of the period. The record gives no date, so the occasion of the portrait remains unconfirmed.
