This portrait of John L. Kuser survives as a broken negative, so the glass plate itself cracked at some point, and the record gives no date. It belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the glass negatives made by the Bain News Service in New York, which George Grantham Bain founded around 1899 to supply newspapers with pictures of people and events in the news. The title rests on unverified information written on the negative or its caption card, and cracked plates like this one are a common feature of the surviving collection.
