A portrait of a man identified as Dr. Arthur N. Davis, though the caption data that supplied the name is unverified and the picture is undated. It is a 5 x 7 inch or smaller glass negative, a format that Bain News Service, a New York picture agency founded by George Grantham Bain around 1899, used widely for news and portrait work in the early twentieth century. Bain's files, now held by the Library of Congress, are valued for documenting the faces and events of that period, so a portrait like this one is worth examining for its clothing, studio setting and the era's photographic conventions.
