The record gives the title "Aug. D. Porter" for this glass negative, though the notes flag that the name comes from unverified information written on the negative or its caption card, so it may not identify the sitter or subject with certainty. The picture belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Its plates were mostly 5 by 7 inches or smaller, and they capture the public figures, events, and street scenes of that busy period. The collection came to the Library of Congress in 1938.
