The name on this glass negative is George Laney, a title the Bain News Service wrote on its negatives or caption cards, though the record flags it as unverified. No date or location accompanies the entry, so the sitter's identity and the occasion remain uncertain. The glass format points to the early twentieth century, when Bain's New York agency made many such plates to supply newspapers with news and portrait pictures. The George Grantham Bain Collection, now held by the Library of Congress, preserves these negatives as a record of everyday press photography.
