The only identifying detail here is a name, Sigurd Berg, and the Library of Congress notes that even this title comes from unverified data written on the negative or its caption card. The plate belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, a body of glass negatives from the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied newspapers with pictures of people and events in the early twentieth century. Glass plates like this one were the standard working medium of press photographers of that period, valued for their sharp detail and suited to fast reproduction. Researchers should treat the name as a lead to verify rather than a confirmed identification.
