The title on this glass negative is W.N. Cromwell, a name the record gives only as unverified data from the Bain News Service's negatives or caption cards, so the identity of the sitter or subject remains uncertain. The Bain News Service, founded by George Grantham Bain in New York around 1899, sold news and portrait photographs to newspapers for decades, and its output was usually made on glass plates like this one. Prints from the collection are valuable as a record of early twentieth-century news and daily life, though a name with no confirmed date or place calls for caution when reading it.
