The subject named on this glass negative is Francis P. Garvan, though the record flags that identification as unverified. Garvan served as Alien Property Custodian after the First World War, overseeing German-owned assets seized by the United States, and later headed the Chemical Foundation, which managed patents taken from enemy holders. The Bain News Service, a New York agency, supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century, so the plate likely reflects the press interest in men handling enemy property during that period.
