Jacob Panken, a New York lawyer with ties to the Socialist Party, is the subject of this glass negative from the Bain News Service, a photo agency that supplied New York newspapers in the early twentieth century. Panken later served as a judge in the city's municipal courts, a post that drew attention given his earlier political affiliations. The library's record gives no date and marks the name as unverified, so the identification rests on the caption cards kept with the negative. Bain's files were built for fast news use, which makes plates like this one a useful window onto the people who made headlines in that period.
