The record for this glass negative gives only a name and place, "C.E. Mitchell, Bklyn," with a date of 1922, and notes that the title comes from unverified data written on the negative or its caption card. The name and borough are the only specific clues, so the subject may be a person, a business or a building, and the record does not say which. Bain News Service, the New York photo agency whose files George Grantham Bain built into a large collection, supplied pictures of local people and events to newspapers during these years. Its glass negatives, many of them 5 by 7 inches or smaller, are now valued for showing everyday New York life in the early twentieth century.
