The record names Harry Wolverton, gives a 1912 date, and marks the location as "NY A," but says little more about who he was or what occasion produced the portrait. The negative is a glass plate of 5 by 7 inches or smaller, the format Bain News Service used for quick newspaper work in New York during the 1910s. The agency, founded by George Grantham Bain, sold photographs of people in the news to papers across the country, so pictures like this were made for prompt reproduction. The title comes from data recorded on the negatives or caption cards, which the Library of Congress notes have not been independently verified, so the identification should be read as provisional.
