The record attaches the name F. Neim to this tennis subject, but the caption is unverified and no date is recorded, so the player or match cannot be confirmed. The glass negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the work of the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied photographs of current events and notable people to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Tennis was a common subject for such pictures, since the sport drew crowds to clubs and tournaments and was covered as a fashionable pastime. Glass plates of this kind hold fine detail, which makes the figures, clothing and equipment easy to study.
