The only identifying words for this glass negative are the initials G.M.S. and the surname Schulz, a title the Bain News Service wrote on the negative or its caption card and that the Library of Congress lists as unverified. Initials like these often refer to a ship or a company, but the record does not say which, so the subject remains an open question. The Bain News Service was a New York firm that supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century, and its glass negatives cover everything from street scenes to public figures. With no date recorded, the surrounding collection is the best guide to when and why this picture was made.
