The caption on this glass negative reads "Hrlrn Frick," an abbreviated and unverified title, so the subject is best read as a clue rather than a settled identification. The surname most likely points to Henry Clay Frick, the steel and coke industrialist whose New York mansion later became a museum. The George Grantham Bain Collection holds news photographs made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Its glass negatives, often captioned in haste, offer a useful record of the period's public figures and places.
