The record names only a person, M. Turpin, and that name comes from caption cards the Bain News Service attached to its negatives, which the catalog itself describes as unverified. Bain was a New York press photo agency that supplied newspapers with pictures of people, places and events in the early twentieth century, so its plates often record whatever was in the news at the time. No date or further detail survives here, so the occasion and the subject's role remain open. The small glass negative is typical of the working methods of that period of news photography.
