The record gives this picture only one identifying detail: the title "Mackay & Gerard," which the Bain News Service attached to the negative or its caption card without verification. The name may refer to a firm, a pair of people, or a subject, but the record does not say which. George Grantham Bain founded his news photography service in New York in 1899, and it supplied press images to newspapers for decades. The glass negative format, typically 5 by 7 inches or smaller, was the standard working medium for press photographers of that era, so the plate itself reflects how newspaper pictures were made before film became common.
