This glass negative is titled with a single name, Ernest Banberger, but the record marks that title as unverified, so the sitter and the occasion remain open questions. It comes from the Bain News Service, the New York photo agency George Grantham Bain founded around 1899 to supply newspapers with pictures of people and events in the news. With no date recorded, the plate is best read as an example of the agency's everyday output, where captions were often taken from hurried notes on the card rather than checked facts.
