The record gives only the surname Harding, and the title is flagged as unverified, so the subject is most likely Warren G. Harding, the Ohio senator who became the 29th president in 1921, though the negative itself does not confirm it. Bain News Service, the New York photo agency founded by George Grantham Bain, sent pictures of politicians, performers and news events to newspapers in the early twentieth century, and its glass negatives like this one were typically small, often 5 by 7 inches or less. Researchers value the collection because it preserves so many images of public figures from that period.
