The title on this glass negative is a personal name, C.D. Hilles, though the record notes that the identification is unverified, so it is best treated as a lead rather than a settled fact. The negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the work of the Bain News Service, a New York picture agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Its glass plates, often paired with typed caption cards, form a major record of the public figures and events that made the news in that period.
