The only name attached to this glass negative is R.H. Upson, and the Library of Congress notes that even this title comes from unverified data on the negatives or caption cards. George Grantham Bain ran his news photo service in New York beginning around 1899, supplying newspapers with pictures of public figures, events and city life into the early 1930s. Glass plates of this size, 5 by 7 inches or smaller, were the standard working medium of the period. Because the sitter's identity and the date remain uncertain, the picture is most useful as a record of Bain's newsroom practice.
