The only identifying detail here is the title "Prevost," taken from the negative or its caption card and not yet verified, so the subject remains unconfirmed. The image is a glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied newspapers with pictures of people and events in the early twentieth century. Glass plates like this were the standard working medium for news photographers of that era, and their survival shows how quickly press pictures were made and captioned. Treat the title as a lead for further research rather than settled fact.
