The caption card for this glass negative gives the title "Duca D'Acosta," which the Bain News Service recorded without verification, so the identity of the subject is uncertain. "Duca" is Italian for duke, suggesting a title of nobility, but the record does not say who held it or where the picture was made. The Bain News Service was a New York news photo agency active in the early twentieth century, and its small glass negatives were working files made for quick reproduction in newspapers and magazines. The picture is best read as a fragment of that daily press output, and its caption and format show how such images were labeled and stored.
