The record names Herbert Hoover, although the title is unverified and no date is given, so the identification deserves a cautious reading. Hoover served as the 31st president from 1929 to 1933, and the Bain News Service, a New York agency, produced press pictures of many public figures of that era. Glass negatives like this were the working medium of news photographers in the early twentieth century, prized for their sharp detail and for how easily they yielded prints for newspapers.
