The title of this glass negative is "A.A. Sprague," a name that the Library of Congress lists as unverified, taken from the Bain News Service's own negative or caption card. The record gives no date, so the subject and exact occasion remain unconfirmed. George Grantham Bain founded his news photography service in New York around 1899, and it sent pictures of public figures, events, and everyday scenes to newspapers for decades. Its glass plates, like this 5 by 7 inch or smaller negative, are a useful record of how press photographs were made and distributed in the early twentieth century.
