The only identifying detail in this record is the surname Schipa, taken from unverified data on the negatives or caption cards rather than a confirmed caption. The glass negative comes from the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency founded by George Grantham Bain that supplied newspapers with news pictures and portraits in the early twentieth century. Its files cover politics, theater, sports and everyday events, so a picture from them reflects the press photography of its time. Researchers should treat the name as a lead to verify rather than a settled identification.
