Labeled as Jack Dempsey, this glass negative comes from the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that sold pictures of athletes, politicians and news events to newspapers in the early 1900s. The name comes from the agency's own notes on the negative, not from independent verification. Dempsey held the heavyweight boxing title from 1919 to 1926 and was among the most photographed sports figures of his day. The record gives no date, so the exact occasion is unknown.
