The record gives only a surname, "Burke," and a note that the title comes from unverified Bain News Service data, so the identity of the sitter or subject cannot be confirmed from this entry. What it does establish is the source: a glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress. Bain News Service was a New York photo agency that supplied news pictures to newspapers from the early 1900s into the 1920s, and its glass plates capture the people, streets and events that filled those papers. Negatives of this kind are worth noticing for their clarity and for the way they preserve a working press archive.
