The only identifying detail in this record is the title, "Herbert," a personal name that the Library of Congress notes was taken from unverified data on the negative or its caption card, so the sitter and the occasion remain unconfirmed. The image is a glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection. Bain founded his news photography service in New York in the early 1900s, and it supplied pictures of people, events, and everyday life to newspapers. Glass plates like this one were the standard working medium of that period, and their sharp detail is worth noticing.
