This glass negative records Rt. Hon. H.H. Asquith, the British Liberal statesman who served as Prime Minister from 1908 to 1916, a period that spanned domestic reform and the First World War. The Library of Congress catalog notes that the title comes from unverified data supplied by the Bain News Service, the New York press agency whose photographers supplied newspapers and magazines with pictures of public figures. The record does not give a date, so the exact occasion is unknown. The negative still shows how wire-era news photography circulated portraits of foreign leaders to American readers.
