The record names this glass negative "B.B. Burritt," a title the Bain News Service supplied from its own caption cards, so the identification has not been independently checked and the sitter's role is unknown. The Bain News Service was a New York agency that sold news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century, and its negatives were made on glass plates that were often shot quickly for daily publication. Because the record gives no date, the picture is best placed within that broader period of press photography, when agency pictures of prominent and ordinary people alike were circulated to readers across the country.
