The title pairs two surnames, Landis and Stengel, but the record marks them as unverified and gives no date, so the occasion and the people shown remain uncertain. The image survives as a glass negative in the George Grantham Bain Collection, the files of the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Glass plates were the standard working medium for press photographers of that era, and the caption cards that accompanied them often held the only record of who appeared in a picture. Researchers should treat the names as a starting point rather than a settled identification.
