The only identifying detail for this glass negative is the title "Chas. Lamaire," which the Library of Congress lists as unverified, taken from the negative or its caption card. The plate belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection. George Grantham Bain founded the Bain News Service in New York around 1899 to supply newspapers with news photographs, and the collection now holds tens of thousands of such plates. Because the record gives no date and no confirmed identity, the subject of this image is best read through the Bain service's broader role in documenting people and events in early twentieth-century America.
