Marion Simpson is pictured with a dog captioned "Prize Bull," a playful label from the Bain News Service's caption data. The agency, a New York picture business run by George Grantham Bain, supplied newspapers with thousands of photographs of people and events in the early twentieth century, and its glass negatives now form a large part of the Library of Congress holdings. The record gives no date, and the title is unverified, so the occasion remains unknown. Still, the picture shows how early press photographers used humor to stand out.
