The only identifying detail for this glass negative is its title, "LaFontaine," a surname that the Bain News Service recorded on the negative or its caption card. The record does not confirm who is pictured or when the photograph was made, so the name should be read as provisional. George Grantham Bain founded the Bain News Service in New York in the early 1900s, and it supplied newspapers with pictures of people, events, and places. Its glass negatives, many of them 5 by 7 inches or smaller, are now held by the Library of Congress and reward close study of clothing, settings, and photographic technique.
