The name in this glass negative's caption is Robt. Lee Henry, and the credit line points to G.V. Buck of Washington, D.C., as the photographer or studio, with the 1909 date taken from the record. The image belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, a body of news photographs assembled by a New York agency that sold pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Because the title comes from caption cards and the agency's own notes, the spelling and identification are worth checking against other sources before you rely on them. Glass plates of this size were the standard working medium for portrait studios and news photographers of the period, and their sharp detail is often what draws researchers to them.
