This picture shows a man named Miller playing a record, though the title comes from unverified data the Bain News Service recorded on the negative or its caption card, so the identity and the date remain uncertain. George Grantham Bain founded the Bain News Service in New York in 1899 as a wire-photo agency that supplied newspapers with pictures of current events, portraits, and everyday scenes. Its glass negatives, many of them small enough to be sent quickly by mail or messenger, now form a major part of the Library of Congress's holdings from the early twentieth century. Viewers may find the picture most interesting as a glimpse of a home or studio listening habit from that period, when phonograph records were a common form of entertainment.
