The title lists three surnames, Howe, Guernsey and Smith, but the record notes that it comes from unverified data written on the negative or its caption card, so the people named here are not confirmed. The glass negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency founded in 1899 that supplied news photographs to newspapers across the country. Its work from the early twentieth century captured politicians, public figures, and everyday events, and the surviving negatives remain a valuable record of that period. Because the date is not recorded, the exact moment this portrait was taken is uncertain.
