The only identifying detail for this negative is the surname Illingworth, which the Bain News Service recorded on the glass or its caption cards. The record does not confirm who is shown or when the exposure was made, so the name is best read as a lead rather than a settled identification. Bain was a New York news photo agency that supplied pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century, and its small glass negatives were sorted and captioned in batches like this one. Caption cards and neighboring frames from the same batch are the most useful route to confirming the subject and occasion.
