The record labels this glass negative "Dr. C.H. Mayo," though the title comes from unverified caption data. If the label holds, the subject is most likely Charles Horace Mayo, a surgeon at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, the practice his family helped build into a major center for medical care. The negative belongs to the Bain News Service collection, whose New York agency supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century, so the portrait likely served the press's need for recognizable faces. The record gives no date or occasion, so the setting and purpose remain uncertain.
