The record identifies this glass negative as a portrait of Julius Barnes, though the title comes from unverified caption data and no date is given. Barnes, a grain merchant, headed the U.S. Grain Corporation during the First World War, when federal agencies tightly managed wheat and flour supplies under the Food Administration led by Herbert Hoover. The Bain News Service, a New York photo agency, made many such portraits of officials and businessmen in this period, and its glass negatives show the formal style of early twentieth-century news photography.
