This glass negative is catalogued under the name J.B. Reynolds, though the record notes that the title comes from unverified data written on the negative or its caption card, so the identification is provisional. The image belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Bain's photographers worked with large glass plates, which gave sharp detail for newspaper reproduction. Without a date or further caption, the sitter's role and the occasion remain unclear, but the negative shows the agency's routine of documenting people in the news.
