The name on this glass negative, Eric L. Boetsel, is the detail that sets it apart, though the Library of Congress lists it only as unverified data taken from the negative or its caption card, so the sitter's identity and the occasion are not confirmed. The plate belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that supplied newspapers and magazines with pictures of news figures, events, and everyday city life in the early twentieth century. Glass negatives like this one were the standard working medium of that period, prized for their sharp detail. Without a firm date, the picture is best read as a window onto the agency's working practice.
