This glass negative pairs the names Pauline Blair and Capt. W.J. Walter, though the Library of Congress notes that the title comes from unverified information recorded by the Bain News Service. The record gives no date, so the setting and occasion can only be inferred from the collection itself. George Grantham Bain's New York agency, active from about 1899 to 1932, supplied newspapers with pictures of public figures, performers and current events, and its glass plates are now a major source for early twentieth-century American news photography. The plate's format, a 5 by 7 inch or smaller glass negative, was standard for that era's press work.
