The record names a single subject, Johnny Daly, and survives as a glass negative no larger than 5 by 7 inches, a format common in press photography before roll film took over. The title comes from caption cards or notes written at the time, and the library has not verified it, so the identity of the sitter is an open question. The negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, which holds work from the Bain News Service, a New York agency founded around 1900 that sold photographs to newspapers. Its glass plates document the early decades of the twentieth century, when such agencies supplied images of public figures, performers, and ordinary New Yorkers to a hungry press.
