The only identifier for this negative is the title "C.E. Mitchell," taken from unverified notes on the glass plate or its caption card, so the record cannot confirm whose name it is or what the picture shows. It belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Glass plates like this one were the standard working format for press photographers of that era, and the sharp detail they captured is one reason the collection remains valuable to researchers today.
