The only identifying detail here is the surname "Pennock," which the Bain News Service recorded on its negative or caption card, though the library notes that the title is unverified and no date is given. The image is a 5 x 7 inch glass negative, a format the agency used for quick news pictures sent to New York newspapers in the early twentieth century. George Grantham Bain founded the service around 1899 to supply photographs of people and events in the news. Its negatives are valued today as a record of that period's press photography, though a name alone leaves the subject and occasion open for further research.
