The record gives this portrait only the name "H.B. Hawes," and the Library of Congress notes that the title comes from unverified information written on the negative or its caption card, so the sitter's identity and the picture's date remain open questions. The image is one of the glass negatives from the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by Bain News Service, a commercial photo agency that supplied news pictures from New York and Washington in the early 1900s. Its large-format glass plates were prized for their sharp detail, and the collection as a whole offers a window into the people and events that filled American newspapers of that era.
