The record identifies this glass negative only as "Viscount Uchida," a title the Bain News Service noted on its caption cards, and the name is marked as unverified. The likely subject is Uchida Kosai, a Japanese diplomat and statesman who served as foreign minister more than once and held the rank of viscount in Japan's peerage. Bain's agency supplied news pictures of diplomats, politicians and visiting dignitaries to newspapers, so portraits like this were made for quick publication rather than as studio art. With no date recorded, the identification is best treated as a starting point for further research.
