Lead with the name, which the record gives as Joas A. De Bianchi, though the catalogers flag it as unverified, drawn from the caption cards or negative sleeves rather than a confirmed source. The image is a glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection, the body of work produced by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that began in 1899 and sent news pictures to newspapers across the country. Bain's photographers covered politics, sports, theater, and everyday city life, and their work was often filed quickly for same-day publication. The record gives no date, but the glass plate format points to the early twentieth century, when such negatives were standard for press work.
