The record names the sitter as Sam'l Dewitt, but that title is unverified and comes from caption cards or the negatives themselves, so the identification should be treated as provisional. The picture is a glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection, the body of work made by the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that supplied newspapers with news pictures beginning around 1899. Glass plates were the standard medium for press photography of that period, valued for their sharp detail.
