Dr. Phillips Thomas is the name recorded for this glass negative, though the record flags the title as unverified, so the sitter's identity and role remain uncertain. The plate belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the work of the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Its glass negatives, generally 5 by 7 inches or smaller, were the standard working medium of press photographers before flexible film became common, and this one lacks a date, a reminder that many plates in the group were captioned quickly for newspaper use.
