Two names anchor this plate: H.J. Meyer and Lt. H.D. Norris, with the rank of lieutenant marking one of them as a military officer. The record gives no date, place or occasion, and the library notes that the title comes from caption information the Bain News Service wrote on the negative or its card, unverified. Bain was a New York picture agency whose staff produced news and portrait photographs in the early twentieth century. Glass negatives of this size were a standard working medium for such agencies before flexible film became common, so the plate reflects both its maker's trade and its era. Anyone seeking the story behind the men would need to check the original caption cards and contemporary military or civic records.
