Two couples, identified in the record only as "Gigli & wife" and "D'E Curtiss & wife," are the subject of this glass negative, and the names are unverified because the title comes from Bain News Service notes on the negative or its caption card. The Bain News Service was a New York photo agency that sold pictures of people in the news to newspapers in the early twentieth century, and glass plates like this one were the standard working medium for press photography of that era. The record gives no date, so the sitters and occasion remain uncertain, but the format points to the agency's busy working files from the 1900s and 1910s.
