The record identifies the subject only as Matt Wells, a title taken from caption cards that the Bain News Service attached to its negatives and that has not been independently verified. The picture survives as a single glass negative, a format that press photographers used widely in the early twentieth century. George Grantham Bain founded the agency in New York in 1899 to supply newspapers with photographs of current events and notable people, so the collection offers a useful view of how the news press pictured its subjects during that period.
