Little is confirmed about this picture beyond its caption, which names the subject as Jas. B. Scott. The Bain News Service recorded that name on the negative or its caption card, but the record flags it as unverified and gives no date. The plate is a small glass negative of the kind George Grantham Bain's New York agency used for news pictures and portraits sent to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Its format points to the agency's working years, when photographs of public figures were valued for quick reproduction in print.
