The only identifying detail this glass negative carries is its title, "Alcock," and the record notes that even this comes from unverified caption data, so the subject may be a person, place, or event that is no longer clear. It belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress. Bain News Service, a New York agency, produced and distributed news photographs from about 1900 into the early 1930s, and its glass plates show the range of subjects that filled newspapers of the period, from politics and sport to everyday city life. Readers who want more detail should check the Library's catalog for any updated caption information.
