The record gives this glass negative the name "Jos. W. Beach," but the Library of Congress notes that the title comes from unverified data supplied by the Bain News Service, so the identity of the subject should be treated as uncertain. The negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the work of a New York picture agency that produced and sold news and feature photographs in the early 1900s. Its glass plates were made in a format of 5 by 7 inches or smaller, a size common in press photography of that era. With no date recorded, the picture is best understood within the agency's broader output, which documents American public life during those decades.
