Five named members of a French commission appear in this glass negative, a group portrait that the record identifies only by surnames and initials. Because the title comes from unverified caption data, the men's roles and the occasion are best treated as unconfirmed. The Bain News Service, the New York press agency whose founder George Grantham Bain assembled this collection, supplied newspapers with news pictures in the early twentieth century, often of visiting officials and delegations. Its glass negatives were typically shot for same-day or next-day publication, so the format and the agency's practice point to a staged portrait made for newspaper use.
