The only identifying detail for this negative is its title, "Wells," which the Bain News Service recorded on the glass or its caption card. The catalogers note that this information is unverified, and no date is given, so the subject could be a place, a family name, or something else. George Grantham Bain founded his news photo service in New York in the early 1900s, and it supplied pictures of people, events, and places to newspapers across the country. Glass negatives like this one, usually 5 by 7 inches or smaller, were a standard way to make press images before film became common, so the plate itself shows how the work was done.
