The negative is catalogued under the name Sir W.H. Beveridge, though the record notes that this identification comes from unverified caption data supplied by the Bain News Service. If the name is right, the sitter is William Henry Beveridge, the British economist and social reformer whose 1942 report proposed a comprehensive system of social insurance, a foundation for the postwar welfare state in Britain. The Bain News Service, a New York press agency, made news photographs for newspapers and magazines, so the portrait most likely served a story about a public figure of the day. The record gives no date, so the exact occasion is unknown.
