Catalogued simply as Lord Foster, this glass negative carries a title taken from the caption cards or negative sleeves of the Bain News Service, and that identification has not been independently verified. The Bain News Service was a New York picture agency that George Grantham Bain founded around 1901 to supply newspapers with news and feature photographs. Its glass negatives, most measuring 5 by 7 inches or smaller, document public figures and everyday life in the early twentieth century. Because the sitter's identity rests on the agency's own labeling, viewers should treat the name as provisional.
