The record names only "Robt. Donald," a portrait-style title for a glass negative of 5 by 7 inches or smaller, with no date or place attached. The name was supplied by the Bain News Service and has not been verified, so the sitter's identity should be treated as tentative. George Grantham Bain founded the New York agency in the early 1900s, and its negatives captured public figures, news events and everyday city life, often sent out to newspapers within hours. Glass plates like this one were the standard working medium of that era, and their fine detail is a reason many of these images are still studied today.
