The name on this negative, R.H. Howe, is the only identifying detail the record gives, and it comes from caption information that the Bain News Service recorded without verification. The image is a glass negative no larger than 5 by 7 inches, the format that news photographers commonly used in the early 1900s. George Grantham Bain founded his agency in New York in 1899 to supply newspapers with pictures of people and events, and its files now hold tens of thousands of negatives. Because this record lacks a date and a verified subject, its exact context is uncertain, but it reflects the fast, large-scale photo reporting of that era.
