The only identifying detail for this glass negative is a surname, Robertson, and the record gives no date or location, so the subject cannot be confirmed. The title comes from caption cards or notes made by the Bain News Service, a New York picture agency that George Grantham Bain started around 1899 to supply newspapers with news photographs. Its negatives, including small glass plates like this one, document city life, public figures and events in the early twentieth century. Researchers should treat the name as a lead rather than a established fact.
