The record names four men, R.A.C. Smith, J.A. Topping, F.B. Dalzell, and Theo. Burton, but gives no place or date, so the exact occasion is unknown. The title comes from caption cards and negative sleeves kept by the Bain News Service, a Manhattan photo agency that supplied newspapers with pictures of politicians, public figures, and current events in the early twentieth century. Bain's collection holds hundreds of thousands of glass negatives, and many portraits of this kind were taken for quick use in print. Because the names are recorded only as a list, a viewer would need the original caption or a newspaper of the period to confirm who stands where and why they were gathered.
