The record gives this picture only one word as its title, "Curci," and the Library of Congress notes that the name comes from unverified information on the negative or its caption card, so it may be a surname, a place, or a misspelling. The image survives as a glass negative, a format that news photographers widely used in the early twentieth century for quick newspaper work and portraits. The George Grantham Bain Collection comes from the Bain News Service, a New York picture agency that supplied newspapers with images of public figures, events, and everyday life.
