Col. Lansing H. Beach is identified by a title that the Bain News Service recorded on its caption cards, and the Library of Congress notes that the identification has not been verified. The image survives as a glass negative, a fragile medium that news photographers used heavily in the early twentieth century before film became standard. Bain's agency supplied pictures of people and events to newspapers, so portraits like this one were often made for quick publication. The record gives no date, so the exact moment is uncertain, but the glass plate itself points to the photographic practices of the period.
