The record names this picture for Ethelbert Watts, though the title comes from unverified data supplied by the Bain News Service on the negative or its caption card, so the identification should be treated as provisional. Bain News Service was a New York picture agency that sold photographs of public figures, news events and city life to newspapers, and its glass negatives, the standard medium for press work in the early 1900s, make up much of the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress. The record gives no date, so the image is best placed within that agency's active period, roughly the first two decades of the twentieth century.
