The record gives only a surname, Schmuller, and the note that it comes from a glass negative in the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress. Bain News Service was a New York press photography agency that operated from about 1900 into the 1920s, supplying newspapers and magazines with pictures of politicians, performers, sports figures, and everyday news. Its negatives were often captioned on cards that were later found to contain errors, which is why the title here is flagged as unverified. Glass plates like this one were the standard medium for press work of that era, valued for their sharpness and reproduction quality.
