The record names only Wilfred Glenn, a title the Bain News Service attached to this glass negative from its caption cards, and the library notes that the name is unverified. The plate is one of the small-format negatives the agency made in New York during its busy years, when its photographers supplied newspapers with portraits and news pictures on deadline. Glass plates like this preserved fine detail that later prints often lost, which is why the Bain collection remains valuable to historians of early twentieth-century American life.
