Our catalog entry gives the caption as "Jno. F. Hylan," the abbreviated form of John F. Hylan, who served as mayor of New York City from 1918 to 1925. The date is not recorded, and the title comes from caption cards that the Bain News Service wrote without later verification. Bain's studio supplied newspapers and magazines with portraits of public figures like Hylan, and his municipal pictures from this period show how New York's leaders presented themselves to a mass audience. The surviving glass negative is a small, direct record of a politician whose tenure was marked by fights over city transit and municipal ownership.
