The caption on this glass negative gives the name Dr. A.M. Gomfort, but the Bain News Service recorded its titles without full verification, so the identity remains unconfirmed. Bain's agency, founded in New York around the turn of the twentieth century, supplied newspapers with photographs of public figures, news events and city life. Without a date on the record, the picture is best placed within the agency's active years, roughly the 1900s through the 1920s, when glass plates were the standard medium for news photography. Anyone researching the sitter should treat the name as a lead to check rather than a settled fact.
