The record gives only a surname, De Luca, and no date, so this glass negative is best understood through the collection it belongs to. It comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress, built from the work of the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that supplied newspapers with pictures of current events, celebrities and everyday city life in the early twentieth century. The Library's catalogers noted that the title came from unverified information written on the negatives or their caption cards, so the name may refer to the sitter, a family, a business or a place. Glass plates like this one were the standard working medium of news photographers of that era.
