A glass negative titled "Fredrick Steiwer" is the only detail the record gives about this image, and the Bain News Service's caption data for it is unverified. The name may refer to Frederick Steiwer, an Oregon Republican who served in the U.S. Senate from 1927 to 1933, but the record does not confirm that link. George Grantham Bain founded his New York news photo service around 1900 to supply pictures to newspapers, and its glass plates document the working press of that era. With no date recorded, the sitter's identity and the occasion remain open questions for researchers.
