The only identifying detail for this picture is the name J.R. Mann, which the Bain News Service recorded on its negative or caption card. The record does not confirm who Mann was or when the picture was taken, so the name should be read as the agency's label rather than a verified identification. Bain News Service was a New York news photo agency that operated in the early 1900s and sold pictures to newspapers, so its glass negatives document a wide range of people and events from that period. Small glass plates of this size were a common working format for news photographers of the time.
