The caption identifies the sitter as Sir R.A. Squires, though the record notes that the title comes from unverified data written on the negative or its caption card. The name matches Sir Richard Squires, who served as premier of Newfoundland in the early 1920s, but the record does not confirm that identity. The picture is a glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress. Bain News Service, a Washington agency, sold news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century, and its glass plates capture the portrait and news work of that period.
