The record names only Capt. Jas. A. Anderson, and that name comes from caption cards and negative data the Bain News Service recorded but never verified. The image is a glass negative of 5 by 7 inches or smaller, a format that news photographers of the early twentieth century prized for its sharpness and ease of printing. It belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by a New York agency that supplied newspapers with photographs of current events and notable people. With no date on record, viewers should read the portrait as evidence of its period and its photographic practice rather than as a firmly dated document.
