A glass negative titled "Coach Folwell" comes from the Bain News Service, a New York picture agency that sold news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century. The title is unverified, and the record gives no date, so the sitter's identity and the exact year remain open. Bain's photographers often pictured coaches and athletes for press stories, so the pose and setting may reveal whether this was a sports feature or a portrait. The glass plate format suggests the picture dates from the agency's working period, which ran into the 1920s.
