The only identifying detail for this negative is its title, "Dambois," which the Bain News Service recorded on the glass or its caption card. The record gives no verified date or context, so the title is the one point of firm information. Bain's agency, founded in New York around 1899, supplied news photographs to newspapers across the country, and its small glass plates from the early twentieth century cover a wide range of people, places and events. This plate reflects that working method: a compact negative made for reproduction in print. Its exact subject remains open to further research.
