The title on this glass negative is simply "L. Bailly," a name the Bain News Service recorded on the plate or its caption card. The record gives no date and no confirmed identification of the sitter or scene, so the title should be read as the photographer's or agency's label rather than a verified fact. Bain News Service was a New York press photography business that supplied news pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century, and its negatives were made on glass plates, the standard medium for news work before flexible film became common. Those plates now form part of the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress, where researchers often rely on such caption details to trace who appears in a picture and when it was made.
