The sitter in this picture is identified only as A.B. Fosdick, a name taken from the caption card or negative label that the Bain News Service attached to the glass plate. The record gives the date as 12/12/10 without further detail, so the identification and the exact date should be treated as unverified. The Bain News Service, founded in New York by George Grantham Bain, supplied newspapers with pictures of people and events in the early twentieth century, and its glass negatives were often shot quickly for news use. The 5 by 7 inch format was common for that work and for studio portraits of the period, which makes the plate a useful example of how news pictures were made and filed.
