The only identifying detail here is a name, A. Reiss, and the record marks that title as unverified, so who this person was and what occasion brought them before the camera remain open questions. The picture survives as a glass negative, a format that press photographers widely used from the late nineteenth century into the 1920s because it captured fine detail. It came from the Bain News Service, a New York agency that sold photographs of current events and notable people to newspapers, and its files at the Library of Congress preserve a broad view of the period.
