The record gives only a name, John Walter Smith, and notes that the title comes from unverified data on the negative or its caption card, so the identification should be read with that caveat. Bain News Service, the New York agency whose files make up this collection, supplied newspapers and magazines with photographs of politicians, performers, and public events from the early 1900s through the 1920s. Its glass negatives were usually made for quick reproduction, so portraits from this source often show the stiff formality of the period. Without a date in the record, the image is best understood as one example of that studio and press work.
