The only identifying detail in the record is the title "Oldfield," which the Bain News Service recorded on the negative or its caption card without independent verification, so it may name a person, a place, or something else. The picture is a glass negative no larger than 5 by 7 inches, part of the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress. Bain founded his New York photo agency in 1899, and its pictures of people, events, and street scenes from the early twentieth century were sent to newspapers across the country, making the collection a valuable record of that period.
