This glass negative is catalogued under the name of William Randolph Hearst, the newspaper publisher whose chain of papers, including the New York Journal and the San Francisco Examiner, made him one of the most powerful media figures of the early twentieth century. The Library of Congress notes that the title comes from caption cards and data supplied by the Bain News Service, which means the identification has not been independently verified and the date is not recorded. The Bain News Service was a New York picture agency that sold news photographs to newspapers, and its glass negatives, now part of the George Grantham Bain Collection, offer a broad view of the public figures and events of its era.
