Caption data identifies the subject as W.J. Bryan, most likely William Jennings Bryan, the Nebraska orator who ran for president three times, in 1896, 1900 and 1908. The Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied press photographs to newspapers, made negatives like this one in the early twentieth century, and the record dates this one to October 27, 1908, about a week before that year's election. The title is marked as unverified, so the sitter and date are worth checking against other sources. Glass negatives of this size were the standard working format for newspaper photographers of the period, which makes them useful to researchers.
