The caption on this glass negative names Frank Lester Greene, though the Library of Congress notes that the title comes from unverified data on the negative or its caption card, so the identification should be read with some caution. The plate belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York picture agency that supplied newspapers and magazines with news and portrait photographs in the early twentieth century. Its large-format glass negatives record the faces and events of that period, when a single portrait could be printed and sent to many editors. The record gives no date, so the sitter's public career and the years around 1900 to 1920 offer the best context for reading the image.
