The sitter is catalogued only as H.C. Wallace, a name taken from caption cards and data kept by the Bain News Service, and the record notes that it is unverified, so the identity rests on initials alone. The Bain News Service was a New York picture agency that sold news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century, and its glass negatives, measuring 5 by 7 inches or smaller, were made for quick reproduction in print. Treat the name as a starting point for research rather than a settled fact, and read the image as an example of how the agency recorded public figures of its era.
