The title names two men, Col. Mann and Col. Clem, both carrying the rank of colonel, but the record does not say who they were or what brought them before the camera. The title itself is unverified and comes from caption information kept by the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that supplied pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Glass negatives like this one were the standard working medium of that period, prized for their sharp detail, and the collection as a whole offers a broad view of American public life from about 1900 to the 1920s.
