The name on this glass negative, J.W. Wadsworth Jr., comes from the Bain News Service's own caption, and the record flags it as unverified and gives no date. The likeliest subject is James Wolcott Wadsworth Jr., a New York Republican who spent many years in Congress and appeared in Washington news photographs of his time. George Grantham Bain's agency supplied pictures of politicians and public figures to newspapers in the early decades of the twentieth century, and plates like this one show the working methods of that newsroom trade. Treat the portrait as evidence of a public figure of the period rather than a confirmed biography.
