This glass negative shows Bennie Sternberg going to jail, according to a title that the record marks as unverified. The title comes from caption information the Bain News Service wrote on its negatives or caption cards. That New York agency supplied newspapers with pictures of current events and public figures in the early twentieth century, so the caption is a useful clue. Glass plates were the standard medium of that era, and they preserve sharp detail and strong tonal range. The record gives no date, so the exact circumstances remain uncertain, but the picture reflects the agency's interest in documenting legal and public events.
