The record identifies the sitter as Sir John Cadman, a British mining engineer who later chaired the Anglo-Persian Oil Company, which became BP. The title comes from unverified caption data supplied by the Bain News Service, so the identification should be checked against other sources before it is relied on. The Bain News Service, a New York picture agency, filled its files with portraits and news photographs from the early 1900s through the 1920s, and glass negatives like this one were its standard working format. The record gives no date, so the sitting's exact occasion is unknown.
