The title, abbreviated "Shultz, Buf. Fed.," suggests a man named Shultz and a Buffalo connection, but the Bain News Service caption data behind it is unverified, so the subject and setting remain uncertain. The picture is a glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress, a body of news photographs made by a New York agency that supplied newspapers in the early twentieth century. Glass plates like this were the workhorse of press photography before roll film became common. With no date in the record, the picture is best understood as part of that broader period of American news photography.
