The record identifies the sitter as R.J. Collier, shown seated, though the title comes from caption information the Bain News Service wrote on its negatives and that has not been independently verified, so the identification is best treated as provisional. George Grantham Bain founded his New York agency in the early 1900s to supply newspapers with photographs of current events, portraits, and public figures, and it made thousands of glass negatives of this kind. Because the agency worked in fast news production, its portraits were often made quickly for publication, which is part of what makes them useful for studying the period's people and fashions.
