This glass negative is catalogued under the name "J.M. Cox," a title the record itself marks as unverified, so the identity of the subject is not confirmed. It comes from the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that George Grantham Bain started around 1899 to supply newspapers with pictures of current events and notable people. Glass plates were the standard working medium for press photographers in the early twentieth century, valued for sharp detail when prints had to reach daily papers quickly. With no date on the record, the most that can be said is that it belongs to the agency's busy output of that period.
