The only identifying detail here is the title, "Schalk," a surname the Bain News Service recorded on the negative or its caption card, and the record does not confirm who it names or when the picture was made. The Bain News Service was a New York agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century, and its collection holds tens of thousands of images, many on glass negatives like this one. Glass plates were the standard medium for press work before roll film became common in the 1920s, so the format itself points to the years before that shift. Researchers looking for the sitter or occasion would do best to check the caption cards and the library's catalog notes.
