The only identifying detail for this glass negative is a name, A. Reiss, and that title came from unverified data supplied by the Bain News Service, so the subject should be treated as unconfirmed. Bain's agency used glass plates like this one for much of its early twentieth-century work, when news and portrait photographs were quickly sent to newspaper clients in New York. George Grantham Bain founded the service around the turn of the century, and its pictures of public figures, events and city life now form one of the Library of Congress's major press collections.
