This glass negative is catalogued under the name Victor A. Watson, but the record notes that the title comes from unverified data on the negative or its caption card, so the sitter's identity remains uncertain. It belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the work of the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied photographs of current events and public figures to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Glass plates like this one, no larger than 5 by 7 inches, were the standard medium of press photography at the time, and the record gives no date, so the picture is best read as a typical example of that newsroom work.
