The record gives this glass negative the title "Shilkvel & Shicled," and notes that the name came from unverified data on the negative or its caption card, so the spelling may be garbled or misrecorded. The picture belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress, a body of news photographs that the Bain News Service, a New York agency founded in 1899, distributed to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Glass plates were the standard medium for press work of that era, valued for sharp detail, and the caption cards that once traveled with them are often the only surviving record of what the picture shows.
