The record names the sitter only as Dr. F.J. Fielding, and that title comes from caption data the Bain News Service did not verify, so little is certain about who the sitter was or where the portrait was made. The plate is a glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection, which holds pictures made by the Bain News Service, a New York photographic agency that supplied images to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Seated studio portraits were a staple of such agencies, which needed clear likenesses of people in the news and of professionals whose names might appear in print. Glass negatives of this kind record fine detail well, so they remain useful for what they show of dress and studio style from their period.
