The only identifying detail this negative carries is its title, "P. Amato," a name the Bain News Service recorded on the glass or its caption card, with no date or place attached. Because the cataloguers flagged that information as unverified, the sitter's identity and the occasion remain open. Bain News Service, founded in New York in 1899 by George Grantham Bain, supplied news photographs to newspapers, and its glass negatives of this small size were a common format for quick press work in the early twentieth century.
