The record gives the sitter's name, Frank Baker, and a New York location, but no date and no description of the scene, so the exact occasion behind this portrait is unknown. The title comes from data the Bain News Service wrote on the negative or its caption card, and the "A" appears to be a sequence mark rather than part of the subject's name. Bain's agency, which operated in New York in the early twentieth century, supplied news photographs to newspapers, and its glass negatives like this one are valued for documenting the faces and events of that period. Because the identification rests on unverified caption information, researchers should check it against newspaper archives before relying on it.
