The only identifying detail for this negative is the name Farrar, which the Bain News Service recorded on the plate or its caption card. The library notes that this title is unverified, and the record gives no date. George Grantham Bain ran a New York news photo service in the early twentieth century, supplying newspapers with pictures of public figures, performers and current events, often on short notice. Its glass negatives offer a close look at how press photographers worked in that period, and the missing date is common among plates of this kind.
