The caption on this glass negative names the Earl of Cavan, though that identification comes from the Bain News Service's own notes and has not been independently checked. If it holds, the sitter was Frederick Lambart, a British army officer and peer who held senior commands during the First World War. Bain's agency sold pictures of visiting dignitaries and news subjects to newspapers, so portraits of foreign officers like this were part of its routine output.
