The title on this glass negative is "Chamlee," a name the Bain News Service recorded on the negative or its caption card, though the record does not confirm who or what it refers to. Bain was a New York news photography agency that sold pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century, and its files hold tens of thousands of plates covering people, events, and street scenes of the period. The record gives no date, so the plate's exact age is uncertain, but its small format and glass base place it within the agency's working practice. Anyone researching the image should treat the name as a lead to be checked against other Bain captions and period newspapers.
