This glass negative shows a clergyman listed as the Rev. Dr. Beach of Princeton, New Jersey, though the record notes that the name comes from caption cards and has not been verified. The Bain News Service, a New York picture agency founded around 1899, sold news photographs of public figures, events and places to newspapers, and its captions were often written quickly for print use, so names sometimes went unchecked. Princeton, home to a university and a theological seminary, was an important center of religious and academic life in this period, which fits the kinds of subjects the agency covered. The date is not recorded, so the picture is best read as a snapshot of early twentieth-century news photography.
