The record identifies its subject only as "Senator Hollis," a title taken from caption cards that the Bain News Service wrote, and the archive has not verified it. The most likely match is Henry French Hollis, a New Hampshire Democrat who served in the U.S. Senate from 1913 to 1919. Bain News Service, a Manhattan picture agency, supplied news photographs to newspapers and magazines in the 1910s and 1920s, and its glass negatives record many public figures of that era. The collection has no date for this negative, so its exact year and occasion remain unknown.
