This glass negative records J.R. Day posed with his wife and their daughter, Imogene, though the record gives no date, and the names come from caption information the Bain News Service noted at the time and that has not been independently verified. The Bain News Service was a New York picture agency, founded by George Grantham Bain around 1899, that supplied photographs to newspapers, and its glass negatives document many people and events in the early twentieth century. Posed family portraits like this one, made on large glass plates, show how families chose to present themselves before informal snapshot photography became common.
