Two men named Bob and Al McAllister appear with a man identified as F. Malone in this glass negative, though the record gives no date, location or occasion for the sitting. The title comes from caption information that the Bain News Service recorded on its negatives or caption cards, and it has not been verified. The agency was founded in New York around 1899 by George Grantham Bain to supply newspapers with photographs. Glass negatives like this one were the standard working medium of news photography in the early twentieth century, so the plate shows the craft of its period. Anyone trying to identify these men would do well to compare the plate with dated Bain prints.
