The only identifying detail here is the abbreviated name "Jas. Forbes," a title the Bain News Service wrote on the negative or caption card, and the library notes that it has not been verified. Bain News Service was a New York photo agency founded by George Grantham Bain around 1899, and it supplied news pictures of people and events to newspapers across the country. Its glass negatives, like this one, preserve a large record of early twentieth-century American life. Because the date is unknown, the portrait's exact setting and purpose are open to research.
