The title on this glass negative names W.N. Haskell, but the Bain News Service's identification was never verified, so treat the name as a working attribution. If it is correct, the likely subject is William N. Haskell, an Army engineer who served as the first civil governor of the Panama Canal Zone while the canal was nearing completion. The Bain News Service, a New York photo agency active from about 1900 into the 1920s, supplied pictures like this to newspapers and magazines, and the George Grantham Bain Collection preserves them as a record of the period's public figures.
