The only identifying detail for this negative is the name "Johnson," which the Bain News Service recorded on the glass or its caption card. The library notes that the title is unverified, so it should be read as a lead rather than a confirmed identity. Bain's agency, based in New York, supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century, and its glass negatives cover public figures, sporting events, street scenes and parades. No date is recorded, but the glass plate format places the picture in the years before flexible film became standard for news work.
