The record gives only the title "Silver," and notes that it comes from unverified data on the negative or its caption card, so the subject itself is uncertain. The picture belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the work of the Bain News Service, a New York agency that Bain founded around 1899 to supply news photographs to newspapers. Its glass negatives, mostly made in the first two decades of the twentieth century, cover politics, sports, disasters and everyday life, and the collection is valued as a broad record of that period. Treat the title as a starting point rather than a settled identification.
