The record gives this glass negative the title "Marquess of Hartington," a courtesy title traditionally carried by the heir of the Duke of Devonshire, though the Bain News Service's identification of the sitter is unverified. The negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the body of work from the New York-based Bain News Service, a photo agency that supplied news pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Its 5-by-7-inch and smaller glass plates were the standard working format of that period, and they captured everyday press subjects quickly. Because the record gives no date, viewers should treat the sitter's identity and the photograph's timing as open questions.
