The name on this 8 by 10 inch glass negative is Jim Driscoll, a title taken from caption data that the Bain News Service recorded with its pictures and that has not been independently verified. The record gives no date, so the sitter's identity and the occasion remain open questions. The Bain News Service, a New York picture agency, supplied newspapers with news and feature photographs in the early decades of the 20th century, and its glass plates document the working press of that era. Anyone researching this image should treat the name as a lead to check against period newspapers rather than as settled fact.
