The name on this glass negative, Briand, most likely refers to Aristide Briand, the French statesman who served several times as premier and as foreign minister during the 1920s. The record is thin: the title comes from unverified notes the Bain News Service left on its negatives or caption cards, and no date is recorded. Bain's studio photographed newsworthy visitors and public figures for newspaper use, so a portrait like this would have reached American readers quickly. Briand shared the 1926 Nobel Peace Prize and helped shape the 1928 Kellogg-Briand Pact, which gives the name particular weight for anyone studying interwar diplomacy.
