This glass negative is catalogued under the title "Baron Oura of Japan," a Japanese noble whose name the Bain News Service recorded on its caption cards, though the record notes that the title has not been independently verified. The picture dates from 1910, a period when Japanese public figures drew steady attention in the American press, and the Bain agency supplied news photographs to New York newspapers. Its negatives are valuable to researchers because they capture the faces and fashions of people who made news in those years, often in portraits made for quick publication.
