The only identifying detail on this glass negative is the surname McCarthy, and the record notes that even this title comes from unverified information written on the negative or its caption card. Because no date or subject is recorded, the sitter and occasion remain uncertain. The plate still belongs to the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Its large body of work, often made quickly for daily publication, shows how press photographers of that era recorded people and events for the public.
