The caption "C.E. Mitchell, Bklyn" places this 1922 glass negative in Brooklyn, though the record notes that the title comes from unverified information on the negatives or caption cards. It belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the work of the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Glass plates were a common format for press photography of the period. Because the name is unconfirmed, the sitter and setting are best checked against the collection's records rather than taken on faith.
