This glass negative portrays Bishop Thomas Frank Gailor, the Episcopal bishop of Tennessee, whose long tenure in Memphis and Sewanee made him a prominent churchman in the American South. The record's title comes from caption information the Bain News Service wrote on the negatives or caption cards, and that identification has not been independently verified. Bain's agency made news photographs of public figures for newspapers and magazines in the early twentieth century, so portraits like this one were typically taken for quick publication. Viewers interested in the period may want to notice the formal clerical dress and the studio-style setting, which reflect how church leaders presented themselves in press images of that era.
