The title names a man identified only as "Deputy Grober," and the record gives no date or location for the picture. The title comes from caption cards or negative markings that the Bain News Service used, and the library has not verified it, so the name should be treated as a lead rather than settled fact. The George Grantham Bain Collection holds roughly 40,000 glass negatives from the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that supplied newspapers with pictures of public figures and news events in the early 1900s. Its negatives are valued because they show how working photojournalists recorded officials, crowds, and everyday city life during that period.
