This picture is a portrait of two men, Paul Bender and Gustav Schutzendorf, though the record does not say who they were or why they were photographed together. The title comes from caption information the Bain News Service wrote on the negative or its card, and the library notes that it has not been verified. The Bain News Service was a New York picture agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century, and its glass plates were commonly made in small sizes for quick press use. Because the date is missing, the sitting can only be placed within that broader period, so any identification of the men should be checked against the library's catalog.
