The name H.H. Hsieh is the only identifying detail in this record, and the Library of Congress notes that the Bain News Service recorded it on the negative or its caption cards without verification. Bain News Service was a New York picture agency that supplied photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century, and its glass negatives document public events, notable visitors and ordinary city life of the period. With no date in the record, the sitter's identity and the occasion remain open questions, so the negative serves best as a starting point for further research.
