This glass negative shows a family group identified only as J.J. Dais, his wife, and their son. The title comes from data the Bain News Service recorded on its negatives or caption cards, and the Library of Congress has not verified it, so the names and relationships should be treated as provisional. George Grantham Bain founded the agency in New York around 1899 to supply newspapers with photographs, and it built a large archive of glass negatives over the following decades. Portraits like this one, made for news or reference use, give a useful glimpse of how ordinary families were recorded in that era.
