The caption on this glass negative pairs two names, L.F.H. Betts and C. Mackay, but the record does not say who they were or what brought them before the camera. The Library of Congress marks the title as unverified Bain News Service data, so treat the pairing as a working label rather than a confirmed identification. George Grantham Bain founded the New York picture agency, whose negatives, mostly from the early twentieth century, were captioned for newspaper and magazine clients. Glass plates like this one keep fine tonal detail, and their captions are often the best clue to who appears in them.
