The only identifying detail for this glass negative is the sitter's name, John W. Glenister, and the record does not say who he was or why he was photographed. The title comes from information the Bain News Service wrote on the negative or its caption card, which the Library of Congress lists as unverified, so the name should be treated with some caution. George Grantham Bain founded his New York agency in 1899, and it sold photographs of politicians, performers, and news events to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Researchers looking into this sitter may find more in the caption cards and agency records.
