A glass negative identified as General George S. Simmonds shows a formal portrait of a military officer, though the record gives no date, and the name comes from caption cards that the Bain News Service itself marked as unverified. George Grantham Bain's agency in New York supplied newspapers with photographs of politicians, soldiers, and public events in the early 1900s, so portraits like this were usually made for quick reproduction in print. Researchers should treat the identification as a lead to confirm rather than settled fact, and the small glass plate itself reflects the handheld cameras news photographers relied on at the time.
